Thinking about getting, the ST away bars.. I don't like body roll (which is not so bad now with the current suspension and LXi stock sway bars).. The tokicos with the progress springs ride really well.. I do not want anything to stiff because riding around in the Si for too long hurts my back because of how stiff the suspension and chassis is. lol, the Accord is the daily driver and comfort, decibels and MPG are what it's for.

your going to like the ST bars, I installed a rear one last night and with the rear lower tie bars that justin86 made that were already in the car the addition of the ST bar seems to have made a improvement in the handeling of the car.
I dont know if its just me but my steering also seems a little stiffer but that might just be me.
I have all of justins bars too, They are not installed yet though.
install the bars and get the rear sway bar...i love my set up.
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
have you thought about geting a 4g rear sway? i belive it is 22mm...a 22mm rear paired with a stock front would reduce understeer quite a bit i would imagine
mmmmmm no understeer
the 4G bar mounting is fairly easy to do, you just need to drill some holes to get the new mounting brackets in place. when I did messy's I thought to my self damm it's gonna be a bitch to install, but the two of us installed it easily.
You wont be able to use Justins rear tie bars with the 4G bar, not enough room to mount them
ChaseR the accord is looking pretty cool keep up the work!
Cool
Thanks guys, all my bushings and ball joints came in today, thats prob what i will be doing tommorow.
I want to paint the car but I need to wait until the market recovers, I can't justify spending that much when my losses are so great right now, I have not sold anything off hoping if I sit tight my stock will recover.
I hope the best for you but man.. things aren't looking that good.
Where is the ECU located? I have a stupid CEL and my heater doesnt work..
Ok so it blinks 12 times, EGR Lift Sensor (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)

Ok well im going to Afghanistan in march next year. While Im gone the car is going to get painted.. now that mounts are availiable I want to put something simple in like a B16A2 (99 Civic Si) just to more or less "modernize" the motor. Get coilovers instead of tokicos on progress springs. Paint the car graphite gray pearl (New Honda color for 09), replace My brakes. And a bunch of other random things like some sway bars, camber kits and such.
