I have stock suspension but a friend of mine has a set of Suspension Techniques front and rear sway bars for $150 + beer. They are used but in great shape.

Advantages and Disadvantages...possible problems...

any suggestions welcome. : )

have a read....this was a reply to someone's from a while back in the prelude forums

in terms of sway bars. there's not much difference between hollow and solid, its more so the diameter which determines the effect in terms of 'sway bar' stiffness

alot of swaybars are engineered for stock suspension as a minor 'upgrade' to level ur car

everything has an effect on everything in suspension
sure sway bars will improve the levelness of ur car under load, but it does so by raising the non-preferred side. too much and u start 3 wheeling.

so it really depends if ur gunna upgrade ur dampers/increase spring rates (i.e. aftermarket springs/dampers/coilovers etc)
if u were to do this i'd get the struts sorted first and then adjust the car from there

personally i hate adjusting thru stiffening sway bars. but my application may be different from yours.
its a fine balance and everything has a compromise

springrates too stiff and dampers to suit = too nervous under general road conditions and bumps
sway bars too stiff = 3 wheeling. but depends on front/rear sway bias.
tire pressures too hard = depends front or rear, understeer/oversteer respectively
TYPE of tyres. grippy enough?
it all comes into play before u even start with suspension settings. camber/castor/toe in/toe out/king pin angles/thrust angles

if ur adamant on keeping stock struts (although i have no idea why), then sure go for them. if u are gunna change them. i think u have alot to think about......

First off, what do you want to do with the car? Without a goal in mind bro, things ca get pretty futile pretty quick. What do you want out of your suspension, and how are you gonna drive the car?

Sure the right way to build your suspension is to have your goal in mind and buy the parts that fit from the get-go.

On the other hand when parts like this come up so cheap you can take the opportunity to try them out, see what the effects are ,and either upgrade around the sways or sell them and get what you want when your spring/damper combo matches it.

Totally your choice; jsut know that this is a good deal and you would hardly lose anything trying them out and selling them again afterwards if you no like.

you could sell them back to someone for 100$ each if u dont like them easily
