#272 of 1069 Cheap accessories - aaachu by sreiss Jan 13, 2004 (12:04 pm)
I've had good experience with www.handaaccessories.com. I've used them a couple times -- once with a recent CRV (2004) purchase, and a couple years back with an 01 Odyssey. Good prices, fast delivery, good website.   SAR

You're not going to find cheap OEM stuff, but I've used the same site above with good results.
#274 of 1069 best wipers? by dglozman Feb 06, 2004 (8:34 am)
What would be the best wipers for CR-V. I have a 2002 cr-v and its standard wipers already have to be replaced. And is it correct that Driver wiper is bigger then passenger side wiper?
#275 of 1069 Spare Tire plastic cover by dglozman Feb 06, 2004 (8:42 am)
anybody got it? How durable it is? I live in New York and since I'm parking on the street its a big issue. My original cover already have small holes and scratches.

Dglozman - Which plastic spare are you looking at? There are several (as shown on this site).   http://www.handa-accessories.com/crvext02.html   I have the plain gray "hard spare tire cover" (second of the ones on that page). I painted it to match my CR-V, as Sebring Silver is not one of the available colors for the factory painted covers. It's tough plastic, but because mine is covered with paint, I can't speak to its surface durability.
#277 of 1069 Handling Improvements by z_man_2 Feb 09, 2004 (9:30 pm)
Any suggestions for accessories to improve the handling (ie reduce body roll)on a 2002 CRV?

A couple of posters on this board say a front strut bar really improves steering response and turn-in. I personally would worry about creating more oversteer, though. If you aren't familiar, it is a bar that bolts on top of the front struts and "ties" them together.   The only other thing I've considered is 16" wheels with 215/60-16 tires.   regards, kyfdx

Thanks for the suggestion. While tires would help the grip, I'm more interested in reducing body roll on cornering. The strut tower would improve the frame stiffness, but I believe that a larger anti-sway bar, if available, would provide more significant results. I haven't seen any postings to this effect, so I assume that there is no demand for such products for later models. My wife has an 01 with the wishbone suspension -much better handling.
#280 of 1069 The poster who did the strut bar by kyfdx HOST Feb 10, 2004 (8:18 am)
thought that it made it corner a lot flatter.. I assume he meant less body roll. As I said, I would worry about oversteer, unless I added some type of rear sway bar also.   regards, kyfdx

The 2002 models come with a strut brace as stock equipment. You can always upgrade that to a better design, but I doubt you'd see a huge improvement.   I have a Neuspeed strut brace on my '99 model. The 1st gen CR-V does not have a stock brace, so the improvement was pretty decent.
