Ok, so after the Joplin run I've been looking at different suspension mods.  ie; coilovers, tie bars, sway bars, arm bars, and strut bars.  My question is, aside from the coilovers, how will these affect my ride and does anybody have them installed?  

And whats up with drilled/slotted brake rotors?  I'm also looking into brake systems to prevent slaming into Ryans rear-end on the next Joplin Run (which i hope is soon!)

Also, what do you all think of the Apexi WS exhaust system?

I have every major popular suspension mod, aside from the cusco chassis braces for our cars and all I gotta say is that I definetly do not regret going this route first. The car has been a lot more enjoyable to drive and I feel this is how Honda should of built our cars in the first place in a handling type of perspective. You will also lose the stock riding comfort, but I think its not that bad to get used to as the car does become more enjoyable to drive. no more of that stock body roll.

I have slotted rotors for over a year now and been nothing but happy with my brake setup as the car stops on a dime when I need to without depressing on the brake pedal too much, like on the stock pads and rotors. just a little more brake dust, but not that its hard to clean rims anyways. I know khouston from MA just got his apexi exhaust installed a month ago and that hes satisfied with the results of his exhaust on his I4 coupe. but thats all I can say about that.

Ok as suspension goes, this is my plan (most likely to be revised if i find better)

1. Tein Basic Coilovers
2. DC Sports Strut Bar
3. Nuespeed Front Sway Bar/Progress Rear Sway Bar
4. JIC Arm Bar
5. Nuespeed Tie Bar

And Brembo has a front brake system with either drilled or sloted rotors

As far as my next mod, I'm doin the TSX Intake manifold, which I'm purchacing from Blinx! Smiley

intresting...

They say (around the forums) that the drilled rotors for our vehicles are prone to cracking, but no one here has tried them to confirm that. If the drilled rotors weren't on backorder at the time I was ordering my brakes, I would of tried them myself.

Why Tein Basics, the ride height control with them sucks.
Why not get the much cheaper and just as effective 04-06 Acura TL 6MT sway bars?

+1

For the cost effectivness and results, it doesn't get better than that. unless comptech drops their prices down by $100 less. but maybe Tremmor wants a slightly thicker bar?

The basics do not have a seperat ride height adjustment, to adjust ride height you actually end up changing the spring tension.

Paul when you got your NXT coils what was the height already set at 3/4. I got my 235s mounted on the front today but not the back because they were going to rub. I'm going to get the NXT and rear camber kit before I put the back tires on.
