    Updated suspension parts on the market

    Alright, I know OEM is best in so many cases, but I have a question regarding what I see on the market currently. I have been looking at majestic honda, hondaparts, partsgeek, summit racing, etc. and I see a lot of beck arnley, moog, and other "no-name" brands. My questions is this, are Moog and beck arney good brands for a 3rd gen suspension redo?

    Moog or polyurethane bushings are the best. If you look up legend master he has a suspension overhaul thread.

    Beck/Arnley are also very good parts.

    Does anyone know about the ST sway bar set? It is green and a bit pricey, but comes with all bushings, links and brackets. I am wondering if anyone has tried them and/or if there might be fitment issues. Thanks for any info.

    The rear can be tricky to install but it fits. Since you already have a rear bar on that lxi you will have the middle bracket adapters otherwise those don't come with the kit so if you had A dx or lx you would need to get those from another car.
