1.lower it about 2" with stiffer springsa and aftermarket shocks..
2.get front strut brace or sway bar..(thicker than stock)+rear sway and strut to counter act the understeer
3.get a full coilver suspension system.
choose either one of those 3
and you wont drive liek a grandma through corners no more.
hehehe he specifically said he doesn't wanna lower his car and half the replies go and tell him to lower it. hehehe :P
as mentioned earlier, you can change your sway (anti roll) bars.
they will reduce the difference in movement between the left and right lower suspension arms during cornering and thus reduce body roll.
may I ask what is a sway bar? is it the bar that goes across the engine and bolted to the structure of the car?Quote:

it's bolted under the car..on top of the fron lower control arms
what they look like is a long metal rod bent into a long U shape.Quote:

the two arms are them bolted onto the lower suspension arms.
Under hard cornering, the car will roll and the inner suspension arm will move up, and the outer suspension arm will move down. But as the sway bar is bolted to the arms it flexes the sway bar.
The sway bar will resist excess bending and hence reduce body roll.
You car will have sway bars standard from the factory, but you can change them to different spec ones.
beware, changing sway bars can alter the handling characteristics of your car
as was mentioned, sway bars and uprated springs. you can buy springs that are stiffer without increasing your ride height... get some good shocks to go with them though :)
I had a whiteline sway bar fitted into my coupe and it worked great! Now my rear is more stiff than my front so it tends to over steer. The white line kit costs bout 400 including rear tie bar.Quote:

BTW, a front strut brace will do basically NOTHING.
i dont really know much bout this kinda stuff but why does it do nothin? how come u c so many people puttin them on their hondas? is it just cause they dont know they useless and salesman are tellin them they important to make a few extra bucks?Quote:

A front strut bar will merely make your front end more neutral, hence more UNDERsteer...
Fitting a larger rear sway bar/strut bar will make your rear stiffer, hence inducing OVERsteer, which is alot nicer to control IMO... :)
Have a read man.
