    Question How does this sound?

    All right, here's the deal;
    God sent me a message last night and told me that I should get HR springs with Koni struts and polyeurothane bushings. When I get more money I should then purchase (or make) some strut tower bars. Of course I would have to remove my mud flaps, but otherwise, should I follow the word of God? And...how far do the HR springs go in reducing the Honda undrsteer? Maybe it won't dissapear altogether, but will become less severe. Acurate?

    They do lesson the car's understeer and the whole combination does greatly increase the ability of the car to,...well haul ass if ya want to. If however your the type of person that push's yourself and the car to 10/10th's of both your abilities and you do this more than just every once and awhile, I do recommend something with more spring stiffness and more strut power (won't be cheap). But that's getting off topic, for most people the H&R's and Koni's will be great. You get a firm controlled ride that isn't at all harsh or stiff. If feels just like as if it came from honda as a sport suspension option. Now, back on the topic. Being that your car is a lx you does not have a rear sway bar you need to, at the very least, grab a lxi rear bar from a junk yard. BUT, since you go out of your way to mention wanting less understeer, I wouldn't bother with a lxi rear bar. Order a rear Suspension Techniques sway bar from www.nopionline.com and install it. It's 1/8" thicker than the lxi rear bar and will further ruduce your understeer. Then of course, find a way to add poly urathane bushings to the stock sway bar and end links.
