RE: 2005 Honda Accord Suspension MODS - Need Suggestions
Hi Guys,
I'm a new member and am also looking at upgrading my suspension on my 7th gen. Accord. I'm thinking about going with the HFP Suspension Upgrade due too the fact that I commute 130 miles a day. I think this will give me the look and ride quality I'm wanting.
I found the HFP upgrade at this address: http://honda.autowebaccessories.com/...c79deed7419e6d You'll have to copy and paste but it should take you right to it.
Your other suggestions are great as well and I might take them up as I tune my ride. Thanks for your info!

RTexasF,
Do you know if these mods will work on an 06 LX SE. Just picked one up yesterday and it really needs help with the body roll. It's almost as bad as the SUV I traded in, but of course that's after I lowered it, put in better sway bar bushings and put in adjustable shocks so it's really not that bad just no where near what I want.

Certainly, adding the TL rear swaybar to an Accord will change the car's basic attitude, and provide very nice turn in. However, if you do this while also keeping the soft front springs of the Accord, you will also radically increase the chances of snap throttle lift oversteer and if you do this you should be prepared for what the car will do if you lift throttle while the car is turning and under load.
THAT is why I went with the 17MM anti-sway as opposed the the 20MM and larger.

To the extent that you can do it without causing a bad ride, you want the car not to roll too much in corners.
When the car rolls excessively, you are allowing too quick a transfer of weight, which means the car isn't going through the corner as quickly as it could.
A car that rolls excessively also scares the driver, throws him/her around the cabin, and generally gives a feeling that the car isn't under control.
