Default NOOB here, which civic can handle better?

I was just wondering if an EK hatch or and Eh hatch can handle better than one or the other when given the same mods. I'm wondering because i cant decide on which hatch to buy.
thanks for your help

So you're telling me that, a eh2 hatch can handle as good as say an ITR, when suspesion mods are applied respectively to both cars???

It will come down to the driver. But assuming the engines were also the same, the EH would win because it's a lot lighter.

so you're telling me when a eh2 and itr both have same mods and a professional racer drives the eh2 and a n00b that can't drive stick drives the itr, the itr will win..

depends on driver</TD></TR></TABLE>

im just wondering why it depends on drivers. If the same driver drives both an eh hatch, and ek hatch, with the same mods, which one will handle better is what i asked...

Its obvious you dont understand the question. The man is asking which has a better setup for cornering, he's not e-racing. Think about it like this since you cant understand his question. Which car is better for cornering, a Ferrari or a Suzuki ***-Hat 3xTr3Me?

To the poster, The EH is going to be lighter. I don't know how wide the the EH wheelbase is but the EJ is 103.2" . I would assume the EJ would be wider. THe main factor is on how hard it is to use integra parts on an EH ( I know nothing about them ) vs. the EJ , it should make your choice there.
