Default CR Suspension Upgrades

I'm planning a suspension upgrade from my stock 06 sway bars and shocks to the stiffer ones that come on the CR. I don't wish to lower it or make it a track car - just a little stiffer and less roll in the turns. Has anyone made these changes and if so what's your opinion? Are there better components for similar prices than what the HTG offers? Thanks for any and all advice!

i did the CR suspension upgrade and have been very happy with it. please note that the comfort level changes with the upgrade. stiffer springs, shocks, and sway bars will change the comfort level.

i track my car and the CR upgrades are a noticeable improvement. Hardtopguy is a great vendor.

Did you get the steering rack stiffeners? Would a lower xbrace accomplish the same thing?

from what i've head the front CR sway bar will improve stiffness and help with handling. im planning on upgrading to CR front sway bar and also a spoon x-brace . i already have JIC rear lower bar, Cusco floor bar, and J's front strut bar.

I just added the front CR sway bar and an 02 rear sway bar the 02 rear sway is 27.2mm compared to the cr's 26.5mm rear. Other than that I am using the UK alignment specs and the car corners much flatter and the car has come back to a more neutral feeling for me anyway. Good upgrade for me.

Are these upgrades compatible to a 2002 S 2000?

i think cr sways are very close to ap1 sway bars.( im probably wrong) i gave my ap1 sway bar to my friend with an ap2 and he loves them. he also got the steering rack stiffeners and the rear upper brace welded on.
hope that helps

i'm still trying to find out if the steering rack stiffeners really upset the balance of the car
