Default Im guessing an alignment, new rotors and supsension will do wonders??

Okay my car handles like crap now.

My rotors are warped, whenever I brake they shake like crazy then the car wants to veer left when I brake.

my suspension bounces over some bumps and it doesnt hold up well.

So after I do all this I figure it will be A lot better??

Currently driving my girls Accord around, what luxury compared to my 92 CX hatch LOL.

What have you done suspension wise, i say definately get new rotors, i mean you can have them turned but here they charge 30 to turn them when i can get new ones for 50. You probably need an alignment too and if you are bouncing then new shocks.

suspension and braking is always a neglected area of performance. Replace all that and it wil drive like its brand new. I toasted my stock brakes when i did my swap, I use 12.2 wilwoods now

Any good recommendations on good replacement rotors that wont breakt the bank??

Also good struts, I know everyone says KYB AGX but I remeber when I was in my friends 92 civic he had some "regular" KYB struts and I thought it rode fine??

try groupbuycenter.com There is a guy there i think Raceconcepts? Sells brembo blanks that he dimple drills, slots, and zink coats for 50 a peice. You are probably talking bout the kyb gr2. I don't really like those shocks because i think they feel too much like stock, I like a shock that actually feels like a performance shock and lets me dial in my settings that's why i went with koni yellows but if you aren't really gonna mess with your shock settings than i suggest the kyb gr2 or koni reds.
