After doing all the brace upgrades on my 2013 accord V6 sedan, I've noticed the stock suspension is a bit overwhelmed by the car's newfound chassis stiffness. What would be a good stock-plus upgrade that would keep the ground clearance (potholes suck), but with better handling and less lean?

Here's what I've upgraded so far:

• Tires from Michelin primacy mxv4 to Michelin pilot sport all season 4
• Ultra racing front strut Tower brace
• Ultra racing 19mm anti sway bar
• Ultra racing front subframe braces (both)
• Ultra racing 4 point mid-frame brace
• Ultra racing 4 point rear subframe brace
• Ultra racing 2 point lower side braces (both left and right sides)
• Ultra racing 2 point rear lower brace for keeping alignment

I'm thinking to upgrade the sway bar end links to ones with poly bushings as well. The cost isn't so much the issue so much as further helping the car's handling.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I think you've maxed out suspensions upgrades at this point 😆 (outside of coilovers).

I've never run coilovers at stock height so not sure how they behave. I assume the higher spring rates would add stiffness even if dampers are set all the way soft.

Upgrading to a larger rear bar will just reduce whatever understeer is left. Poly bushings would also +stiffness.

I'm thinking a mild coilover, and then poly with better end links. I don't want stiff to the point it'll grip and flip, but I also don't like the softness of the stock suspension.

Any ideas are much appreciated. Even if it's mild.

The only coilovers that I have seen that allow close to stock height are the Tein Flex Z coil overs. They lower the car similarly to the HFP suspension, but less so in the front and a little more in the rear. Thats for the default drop. You can obviously lower the Teins a lot more if you ever want to.

If you're going through all that work of installing chassis braces, you may as well put on decently sized sway bars.

Go with TLX 26mm front bar and 25.4 Progress rear - also see if you can find a rigid collar set for the subframes.
