Not always true. There's always going to be a suspension setup in which all variables can be independantly varied.

Hey i'm just telling you the truth which has come about from actual tests. Your bump steer is now not as good as it was before, you can't argue with that. You also can't argue that it has negative effects, noticable to you or not. Maybe the guys on honda-tech race a bit more hardcore than you do

whatever dude!

i agree with the above. Whatever ! I too have this DIY castor kit ( going from the whiteline kit) and i cannot feel anymore or less "bumpsteer" than normal. (yes i do know what it is)
Its a great mod

i didnt, but depends how it feels afterwards...

mine felt exactly the same afterwards, so i didn't think it needed any changing...

yeh when i put in my coilovers the car felt the same, but when i got it alligned the toe, camber, etc was totally out of wack

Mine felt the same too so I don't plan to at this point.

i probably dont have to point out the obvious, but an UCA swap is hardly as drastic as a swap to coil-overs...

Coilover: Tein Flex

Rear Swaybar: 24mm Whiteline
Front Strut: ?

Anything else I could possibly look at? Do I have to reinforce the subframe after installing the heavy duty Swaybars?

What about Bushes?

Currently suspension is stock.

Thanks,
Matt

For the front strut brace, you cant beat a 3point design that also mounts to the firewall.
Check out my signature, near new edelbrock strutbrace for the dc2, at $200 its a steal ($295 new)
