    Re: 86 accord (help with some ideas on parts)

    Well I'm looking for a suspension the cheapest I can find you know I want to go with coilovers but if not some good shocks and lowering springs . Also where can I find a front strut bar for our type of cars or what kind I can set up to fit it. Also with the brake like system or just change rotors and pads I guess. I just have a lot of stock parts I want to switch out man you know how it is for these cars ha

    well for coilovers those are uber expensive.
    front strut tower bar they arnt made anymore so either find a used one here on the site or mkae your own.
    as for the brakes check out the how to section for the big brake upgrade.

    $600-700 for coilovers is super cheap. Good ones are at least $1500-2500 and can go even higher.

    They do not make a front strut bar. I've seen a couple but they were fabbed. Rear bar search for an acura vigor rear bar 91-93 i believe. You can search it here. Most injected 3g's had the rear bar also.
