The sway bar is an integral part of the susp as well...it's not like the other bars, cause this one is actually springy, not rigid.

You can change the top mounts/camber plates on a strut car too.

Lower chassis brace like Cusco or Spoon

You can change everything on your susp with better parts probably, but only a few are made aftermarket.

So let us look:

shocks worth buying $1500
springs $400
sway bars $700
bushing (master set) $250
chassis brace $400
camber adjustment $600
strut bars if you want them $200 (Neuspeed)

and you still gotta buy wheels/tires to take advantage of your susp.

I know each part can be had for less, but unless you are upgrading to better quality, what's the point of even modifying??

Just for clarification, you can only adjust camber on 01-up Civics (Macpherson's up front). It is not possible on any of the older Civics.

Control arm replacement (0-3 deg) from Ingalls or camber bolt (j-bolts) for upper a-arm (0-1.5 degrees) from Skunk 2. There are other manufacturers too. Back can be done with a little shimming and longer Grade - 8 bolt.
