Better handling for Euro...

[EK Civic R]

I've got the sussy done & strut bar, but want to do a little more for my Euro to improve handling..

Was wandering what other Euro owners have done to improve on handling..

I've been looking for sway bar, but the only brand I can find is whiteline..
Does anyone know of any Jap brands, neither Spoon nor Cusco seem to have them.

Also what other things are there to improve handling besides wheels & tires and not go overboard like role cage...

Thanks

Other than upgraded suspension parts, reducing vehicle weight and unsprung mass improve handling. Try getting some light weight racing wheels and removing some sound deadener (if the Euro has any???)

the biggest most noticeable improvement you can do to a euro (and most FWD's) is upgrade the rear swaybar to a larger unit. 18mm or even 20/22mm make s abig difference in handling and the feel of the car. It no longer feels like such a heavy understeery car.

Rear sway bar. You have 19mm from Selby or whiteline (I heard Whiteline was stopping production for the Euro) in Aus, 22mm from Comptech and Progress in the US, or Swift (front and rear sway bars) from Japan.

Rear swaybar from Selby is the best one...Whiteline one is a korean special

I can PM the email for a selby bar - I sold the Euro bar I had here last week, but I can put you in contact with Selby - they do a good job and a great pair of swaybars

You need to be more specific. Exactally WHAT do you want to improve? How does the car behave now and what don't you like about it?

Unfortunately "rear sway bar" is a great answer for such a vauge question and will most likely satisfy you, so I give up

Big rear sway bar has the effect of sucking the inner front down. More camber and more caster on the front, add some good tyres and you've got a nice machine - you just then need to learn how to control it.

Yea, I'm getting camber kit installed next month...
But I find Euro has a lot of body roll..

Whats best way to reduce the body roll??

Swaybars...
Once you go max with swaybars, then shocks, then springs. But the problem is shocks and spring affect the ride, so you need a better riding shock, like a bilstein. Same goes for springs, you end up going stiffer and lose ride comfort, ruining the logic of getting a Euro in the first place...
