  1. #1

    Noob suspension

    I have an eg civic vti with stock shocks with lowered springs. say i was going around the corner, i was wondering why it felt like the rear of the car was going to either lose control in some turns and in others it felt like the rear was jumping left and right.

    how would i correct with? like a quick . eg coilovers?

    how is the handling between a stock euro and civic vti? because im interested in purchasing a stock euro

    I second the sway bar. Only the top models have good handling lol. Sway bar then coils/springs/shocks.
    Anyone selling a black ek1 facelift Hood (OEM)?? PM ME

    VTi comes with swaybars. It could be that your shocks are dead

    before all that i'd check out the bushes, tyres and air pressures first

    no point having the best suspension in the world if the things that hold them to the body are ruined

    a heavy sway bar on the rear of your car (or any car will make the rear end more "adjustable" towards an oversteer condition, which feels like the car is losing control, or is going to come around on you... putting a bigger sway bar will not delete this

    the car is quite old so i would look firstly at shocks (which are probably now blown due to age and the extra stress of lowered springs) and all the bushings which by now would surely be shot... get a good wheel alignment then learn the car... after that you can plan other mods
    - not removed by choice! - waiting for the next update to the saga
