Can anyone else confirm this? I did my research before I made my purchase and this is the first I've heard of this.

The reason I know this because it happened to me. I've owned this accord for almost 16 years since 1998. I have every Neuspeed suspension component available for this car. I have Neuspeed Koni 5 way adjustable shocks, Neuspeed front and rear sway bars, Neuspeed front upper strut bar, Neuspeed front lower tie bar, Aftermarket rear lower tie bar.

The rear sway bar will be fine because it doesn't dip as much as the front end of the car. When the front end of the car dips, all the energy is transfered to suspension components including the front sway bar. If the front sway bar is too hard and it won't absorb the impact then the impact will be transfered to the weaker point which is the subframe where the front sway bar is bolted onto.

Aargh. That's disappointing, I've always been happy with neuspeed in the past so I jumped on the set when I saw them. My initial research revealed nothing but great reviews. Thanks for the heads up good lookin out.

^It's not really worth upgrading the FSB on this car. Upgrading the RSB makes all the difference.

Ordered a lil vinyl for the roof (3m 1080 gloss black), hopefully should have that on in the next week.

I'm really on the verge of purchasing the vinyl to wrap the car. Just town on whether or not I should spend the money on a clutch or not. :dunce:
