Right now i have this setup on my 99 ex coupe:

Korbach Frame Locks
Skunk2 adjustable springs(First Release)
Stock Integra Shocks (shorter body and rod than that of the civics)

The car is dropped 2 inches on 205-40-17

What should be my next suspension/Handling mod,
I was thinking a cheap and easy next mod would be a strut tower bar.

Please give me your suggestion, and please provide me as many details as possible so i may better make my decision as i drive this car on a daily basis and need to consider how the mod will effect the cars streetability.

Pass on the tower bar, it won't do jack especially on a street car. Yes it's cheap and easy, but so is a kid's meal, but kid's meal is tasty and comes with a toy you can play with. the tower bar is neither!

A daily driver doesn't need much for handling because honestly, how much handling do you need on a street car? And typically anything you do to actually increase handling will decrease streetability or practicality to some extent.

Tires: stickier tires increase grip, but sacrifice stability in bad weather, decrease tire life and often increase road noise in the cabin.

Springs: stiffer spring rates will decrease body roll, but increase ride harshness.

Shocks: no point in upgrading shocks without upgrading springs. generally people buy shocks and springs together, but if you don't, and use some aftermarket shocks with stock springs for some whacked out reason, be prepared for an overdamped (read: shitty) ride.

Antiroll bar: Probably your best bet, but don't go crazy (I'd say 19mm at most) as your probably weak spring rates + weak subframe in those chassis = more susceptible to subframe tear out if you use too aggressive a bar. You'll get a nice improvement in handling since a stiffer rear bar will counteract the car's natural tendency to understeer, but you won't notice a difference in straight line driving (ride quality).

Monkeybars (tower bar, tie bar, harness bar, bolt-in rollbar, trunk bars, h-brace): Pass, unless you are looking for creative ways to hang your dry cleaning on the way home. They obstruct view, obstruct cargo space, reduce ground clearance and make oil changes a bitch (h-braces), add weight and cost money.

If you want to dramatically increase your handling, the best upgrade is sticky tires. The only problem with this is you have to buy tires more often. But, no other modification will improve your handling as much.

they sud-denly started Nike Shoes Discount Marketplace to feel very heavy and burdensome.

Cracking my SchoolBook nike air jordan pas cher had Canada Goose Womens Coats been easy. The crack was online Moncler Sale within amonth of ugg clearance the machine showing up, and there was nothing Reebok Outlet Store to it — justdownload newest lebron shoes a DVD image, Pandora Outlet burn it, stick it in the Hogan Outlet SchoolBook, Adidas Superstar and boot itwhile holding down a bunch of different keys at the same time. TheDVD did the rest, installing a whole bunch of hidden programs Christian Louboutin Heels on themachine, programs that North Face Outlet would stay hidden New Nike Shoes even when the ugg factory outlet Board Doudoune Moncler Femme Pas Cher of Eddid its daily remote integrity checks Coach Bags On Sale of the machines. Every now andagain I had to get Nike Kyrie an update for the software to Nike Roshe Run get around the Yeezy Boost Sale Online Board'slatest tests, but Official NHL Jerseys it was a small Adidas Yeezy Cheap price to pay TOMS For Sale to Michael Kors Outlet get a little control Bottes Ugg Femme Pas Cher over Nike Soccer Cleats Boots thebox.

I fired up Uggs For Cheap IMParanoid, the secret instant messenger Discount Air Max that I adidas store used when new pandora charms Iwanted adidas outlet to have an off-the-record discussion right in the Billige Nike Sko middle Moncler Outlet Store of class.

Darryl Cheap Nike Huarache was already ugg store logged in.Once everyone was done, Jolu went to make a key, TOMS STORE and Nike Shoes Sale Store then turnedaway, giving me a sheepish grin. I nike sportschuhe was past my anger with him, though.

He was doing what he had to do. I knew Adidas Soccer Cleats Cheap that no matter what he toms shoes outlet said,he'd Vans Black Sneakers always be there for me. And asics sko we'd been Adidas Neo Discount Sale through the DHS jail togeth-er. Van too. No matter what, Cheap True Religion Jeans that would bind Nike Free Run 5.0 Womens us together forever.

I reebok running shoes did UGG BOOTS FOR WOMEN my key and did the Zapatillas Air Max perp-walk Pandora Style Beads around the gang, letting TOMS SHOES OUTLET everyonesnap cheap uggs a pic. Then Air Max Sneakers I climbed up Air Max Femme on the high 23 IS BACK Store spot Nike Shoes Online I'd spoken from earlierand called for everyone's attention.

"So a lot of you have Nike Air Huarache For Sale noted that zapatillas nike baratas there's a vital flaw in this procedure:

what if scarpe nike this laptop can't Nike joggesko be trusted? Nike Pas Cher Femme What Ugg Outlet Online Store if it's secretly recording our in-structions? What Nike Roshe Run Sale if it's Cheap Louboutin Heels spying on us? new yeezy shoes What if Jose-Luis and I Negozi Pandora can't betrusted?"More good-natured Adidas Superstar Sale Online chuckles. Stone Island Outlet A little cheap uggs for women warmer than before, more beery.

"I Nike Air Max Sale mean it," I said. "If we were Nike Store on the wrong side, this could get chaussure adidas pas cher all ofus — all of you Jordan Shoes Air — into a heap Soccer Boots Outlet nike of trouble. Jail, Abercrombie and fitch store maybe."The chuckles turned more Canada goose dam nervous.

143"So Discount Ray Ban Sunglasses that's why Nike Air Shoes I'm going to do this," I said, nike shoes and picked Jordan Store up a hammerI'd brought from my Dad's Adidas Originals Superstar toolkit. I set the laptop down beside me coach factory outlet online onthe rock Yeezy Men and swung chaussure basket homme the hammer, retro jordans for cheap Jolu following the swing with his key-chain light. Boty Nike Air Crash — I'd always Louboutin Wedding Shoes dreamt Cheap Air Max Trainers of killing pandora jewelry store a laptop with a Moncler Outlet Online ham-mer, and Scarpe Air Max here I was doing Ugg boots Sale it. It felt pornographically good. And bad.

Smash! The nike sneakers screen-panel fell off, Original Ugg Boots shattered converse store into millions of vans shoe store pieces, ex-posing the ジョーダン スニーカー keyboard. I kept Cheap Michael Kors Handbags hitting it, christian louboutin outlet until the keyboard fell Nike Polo Sale off, expos-ing Scarpe Nike Scontate the motherboard and the hard-drive. Crash! I aimed pandora outlet store square for thehard-drive, Air Nike hitting it with everything I had. Air Jordan Retro Sale It took three blows beforethe Discount Christian Louboutin Shoes case split, exposing the fragile media Hugo Boss Sale inside. I Cheap True Religion Jeans kept hitting it untilthere was nothing Nike Air Pas Cher bigger than a fitflops sale uk cigarette lighter, then I put it Canada Goose Outlet all in agarbage bag. The crowd was cheering wildly — loud enough that I actu-ally got worried that Cheap Michael Kors Tote Bag someone far above us might Doudoune Moncler Site Officiel hear over the Pandora Store surf Cheap Michael Kors andcall nike tn pas cher the Uggs Pas Cher Soldes law.

"All right!" botas de futbol I called. günstige nike schuhe "Now, Michael Kors Handbags Discount if you'd like to accompany me, I'm Toms Factory Outlet going Ray Ban Sunglasses Online tomarch Pandora Store this Adidas NMD For Sale down to the Nike Outlet Store sea Adidas Originals Stan Smith and soak it Doudoune Moncler Pas Cher in Nike Huarache Womens Cheap salt water for ten Pandora Official Website minutes."I didn't have any takers Adidas Originals Sale at first, but air force one pas cher then Ange Nike Shox Cheap came forward and tookmy arm in her warm hand and said, "That was Michael Kors beautiful," in my ear andwe marched down to the sea together.

It was perfectly dark by the Cheap Air Max sea, and treacherous, even with louboutin heels our key-chain lights. Slippery, Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet sharp rocks that were Nike Air Sneakers difficult enough to walk oneven without trying Nike Air Women to nike air balance six pounds of smashed Nike Air Max Goedkoop electronics in aplastic bag. I slipped once and thought I was Air max dam going to cut myself up, butshe caught me with a surprisingly strong Canada Goose Online Store grip and kept me ADIDAS NMD SALE ON LINE upright. Iwas Zapatillas Nike Air Max Baratas pulled Cheap Nike Free Run in Timberland Outlet right close to pandora beads her, close enough to smell her perfume,which nike jordan shoes smelled Nike Factory Store like new cars. Chaussure Air Max I love that smell.

"Thanks," I managed, looking into moncler jacket sale the big eyes that were further Nike Air Max Cheap mag-nified by her mannish, black-rimmed glasses. I couldn't tell what colorthey Nike Online Store were in the dark, but I Air max levně guessed something dark, based on her darkhair and olive complexion. She looked Mediterranean, maybe Greek orSpanish or Italian.

I Nike Outlet crouched down Cheap Toms Outlet Store and dipped womens nike air max the bag in the sea, Official Toms Shoes Outlet letting it fill with saltwater. TOMS OUTLET I managed to Pandora Store Sale slip a little and soak my prada outlet shoe, and I Adidas Shoes Discount Marketplace swore and shelaughed. We'd Mens Nike Air Max hardly said a word since we lit out for the ocean. Therewas suivre un envoi something magical in Nike Shox discount Sale our wordless silence.

At Canada Goose Outlet that cheap nike air max point, I Ugg Pas Cher En France had kissed a total of three girls モンクレール レディース in my life, not countingthat moment when I went back to school and got a hero's welcome.

That's not a canada goose jacket outlet gigantic number, but it's New Air Max 2017 not nike mercurial soccer cleats a minuscule Chaussure Nike Pas Cher one, either. Jordan Sneakers For Sale I Cheap Real Jordans havereasonable girl Nike Air Jordan 11 radar, and I think I could have kissed her. She wasn't144h4wt in Discount TOMS the Coach Outlet Store Online traditional sense, but Yeezy Black there's Chaussure Nike Air Max Pas Cher something about zapatos de futbol nike a girl and anight nfl store and a beach, plus Nike Tn Requin Pas Cher she was smart and canada goose jackets on sale passionate The official UGG and committed.

But I didn't kiss her, longchamp bags on sale or take her hand. Instead Cheap Nike Air Huarache we had Boutique Ugg a moment that Ican Nike Air Damen only describe Kobe Shoes Nike as spiritual. The surf, the night, the sea and the rocks,and our breathing. The moment Moncler Outlet stretched. I sighed. This had been quitea ride. I had Jordan Shoes For Cheap a lot of typing to do tonight, Ugg Pas Cher Femme putting all Yeezy Shoes Discount Marketplace those keys Air Max Kopen into mykeychain, signing them and publishing the signed Air Max 90 keys. Starting Nike Factory Outlet the webof trust.

She sighed too.

"Let's go," I said.

"Yeah," she said.

Back we went. nike sb stefan janoski It was chaussures nike pas cher a good night, that night.

Jolu waited after for his brother's friend to come by and Hyperdunk 2014 pick up hiscoolers. I Cheap Toms Shoes Outlet walked with UGGS Outlet everyone else Toms Outlet Online up new jordan releases the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 For Sale road to the nearest Munistop and got on board. Of course, Cheap Retro Jordans For Sale none Descuentos Nike of us was Nike Air 90 using an issued Munipass. By Michael Kors Clearance that point, Xnetters huarache sneakers habitually cloned someone else's Muni passthree or nike schuhe günstig four times a day, assuming a Boost Yeezy Sale On Line new Moncler Jackets Discount Marketplace identity for every Air Max Pas Cher ride.
