I have Tein S-Techs from a V6 accord, dropped 1 1/2" (max) and i have a 19mm TL-S rear sway bar. When I take corners, im not 100% confident in my car. I feel like there could be something I should add, but cant think of anything. Im not lookin to go all out suspension, jus maybe an upgrade like bigger sway bar, rear strut, etc.

What do you think I should do?

I would suggest gettting some koni yellows or tokico illuminas

if you want I can sell you my illuminas with 5-7k miles on them for cheap I am going with koni yellows SOON

:EDIT: reason why I suggest those brands is because they are both reputable companys and they are dampering adjustable I set my s-techs to 1 before and it felt like driving a boat but when I set them to 5 they are nice and tight

The struts are the heart of your suspension. They do the bulk of the work controlling body movements. Without changing those I wouldn't even say you have an upgraded suspension. I love illuminas. I'm on my second set and happier than ever with the car's handling and that's only at setting 3 out of 5. Some Bilstein inverted Monotube struts would actually be really sick even though they're a bit more. Some awesome well tuned Evo's and TT's have used them.

For all out insanity get the bad boy caged, stitch welded, and source some hyper rare JDM JIC-Magic coilovers. I want to see an accord pull 1g cornering so do it for me. Okay thanks let me know if you need moral support.

what kind of tires are you running? that alone could increase your cornering performance.

well my struts are from an accord V6, the stock ones so i guess that makes a difference (i really dont know).

and since im on my stock wheels, im running like normal tires. like if u went to a tire shop and said i need new tires, and they give u a random brand that u dont hear about often...maybe i jus need to put my 18s on and get the nexxen tires...

you should look into some tokico illuminas or koni yellows like I said before I cant ride my s-techs without adjustable dampening shocks and I couldn't imagine riding stock shocks with them (way too soft 4 my taste)

I keep my shocks set at 5 all the time on my illuminas

dont goof around :roy: get some new koni yellows :thumbsup:
