Hey all, I can't post under "suspension" maybe because i'm a fairly new member? Anyways, my suspension is stock and the front driver side is blown (squeaks over bumps) what's a fairly good suspension that isn't going to break my bank? I don't want stock, I'd rather something that can help me take corners and increase stability. I'm going to need a front strut bar as well but not too sure which are good and which are the equivalent of a shower rod. I know it's a lot to ask but any suggestions would be good, i'm working a full time job but don't make a whole lot of money hopefully someone else here who can relate, I love my CB with all my heart and want to make her shine again.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Best cheap suspension?

Unfortunately suspension is one of those areas that you can't cheap out in. Even a lower end setup is still going to run you $500. Even then you likely won't be as low as you want. It's not beyond you to look around to see what prices are. Just stay away from the no-name crap and you'll be okay with your stated goals.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

Im with Jarrett on this completely. But...When you can't afford to go all out on your suspension, just wait & stack your chips (money, not Pringles, dammit) and get the better stuff.

the squeaking is most likely coming from your worn upper strut mount bushings. These can be had for about 2 bucks a bushing from Honda.
You'll need a total of 8 bushings for front/rear. I think the rears are different than the fronts.
My DD's suspension used to creak over all types of bumps because the rubber was hard and petrified being over 20 yrs old.

on that same website, you can get Koni STR-T's all around (a much better shock than Tokico's) for $273 and H&R Race or sport springs for $240. That setup will lower it 2" (for the races) or 1.5-1.75" (for the sports) for a total of $513 plus shipping.
for $100 more, you can grab a set of ground control coilover sleeves and get height adjustability with quality springs.
To take corners better, you are going to want at least an upgraded rear sway bar. The progress is the stiffest one you can get for our chassis and it eliminates most if not all understeer and body roll.
For a tower bar, I would look up the "Sprint" strut tower bar on ebay, they are about $45 and are the same solid-mount design as the now-discontinued Neuspeed bar.Last edited by steelbluesleepR; 08-26-2013, 01:03 PM.
