Thought I might post this here for those who are interested.
Whiteline have a good handling kit for EG-EK civics (integras also) and having got the handling kit myself, I was quite impressed with it. Easily the best $500 spent on my car.
The handling kit I got included a 21mm adjustable rear sway bar, upgraded front bar (19/20mm I think it was) Increased Caster at the front and a brace with the rear bar (to reduce sub-fram tear out). The increased caster significantly improved turn in, and this combined with the bigger rear bar has eliminated understeer to almost zero.
The only tradeoff with the increased caster is slightly stiffer steering, but given how soft the steering is on the civic out of the factory, this isn't soo bad.
I've got a print out of the alignment settings at home so I'll post that once I get a chance.
THe next step up is the sports pack, which I was going to go for, but looks like thats going to have to wait. This consists of a whiteline springs for a lower ride height (you only have to lower it around 45mm for good results) and fully adjustable (ride and rebound) Konis.
Anyway, here's a couple of good reads thanks to the whiteline site..
