Hey quick question. My civic has a bad oversteer when I hit a turn going 60+ (freeway to freeway ramps and things of that nature.). Around 80 I start to lose the back while the front stays planted (Even when accelerating out).

It seems I'm in need of a spoiler, but I know how you guys get about spoilers, so basically my question is: What is good? It's mainly for autoX, but also I don't want 800 lbs of drag on my car when I try to go 60mph. I don't really care about being called a ricer or whatever, as long as it works and it's light.

you don`t need a rear spoiler. What susp mods do you currently have?

i'm not sure that the benefit of a spoiler would solve your problem. Is your car drifting in the back (feel light?), or is it hoping?

i don't think a spoiler will help. i have the same problem with my car. what kind of suspension mods do you have on your car? i think lowering it will help the turns.

I have kyb agx shocks with eibach road race springs. I'm not sure of the exact rate of the spring, but they are quite stiff, and lower about two inches. I have front and rear strut bars and tie bars underneath.

I'd acutally say its between a slip and a hop. The back end doesn't come off the ground, but it very suddenly seems to lose weight and slip, then catch, then slip again.

stock swaybars? if u beefup your front it will counter the rears tendency to ovesteer.

i'd say get a 99SI front sway and a ITR rear sway w/ beaks kit.

also get an alignment. they should tell you if something is wrong.

Alrighty, I'll try some new strut bars and report back.

Thanks for the input!

yes
sway

good tires also

dont forget to check your tire pressure! Basicly what I have found is the go with close to the maximum in the front then a couple psi lower in the rear, but thats only what works in my car. You will have to test different settings to see what works.

I started chalking my tires on my ride to work and back. I'm going to autox this sunday, so I'll be able to test it a little better then.
