Default Ultimate EG civic Handling?????????????

Been looking at the whiteline suspension site http://www.whiteline.com.au/ and seen the "handling" kit for the EG civic.

Has anyone had any first hand experience of this kit?

Also been looking at the http://www.suspension.com/ site and been looking at the poly bush set they do for the civic including the trailing arm bushes.

All of this kit seems very reasonably priced. Is it too good to be true????

Is that compared with the whiteline heavy duty anti roll bars or just a general comment?

Surely someone has used whiteline. I have a mate with a Pulsar with the full whiteline pack on and it handles the damage!!

I am just asking if anyone on here has used or knows of anyone that uses the whiteline kits on a civic. I am not prepared to pay honda prices for suspension when i can get superior handling for a fraction of the cost.

I fail to believe that a car on whiteline suspension upgrades will be outhandled by a car on stock suspension when the whiteline kit uses thicker sway bars and poly bushes.

Any comments welcome

Whiteline is big with the Scooby guys.

Never heard of anyone running their products on a Honda.

nobody is doing well it seems, nobody in the honda scene is buying **** anymore. and all of a sudden jdm "bling" coilovers are looked down upon b/c people have convinced themselves that kyb's w/ gc's will perform as well

this goes out to nobody in particular, but dont bash stuff b/c you cant afford it.

the ultimate handling civic imho is itr front and rear sways, strut and tie bars out the ***, with a serious set of coilovers and poly bushings. manual steering and a race bucket so you arnt holding onto the door in hard corners, and if you have power you need an lsd. and grippy 205 width tires
not many sports cars can outhandle such a nimble car.

Whiteline is an australian company, hence you might find it hard to find people who have experience with these products, as this site is frequented by a predominantly US audience.

Have just fitted the whiteline rear sway bar and the handling is unreal. It has totally transformed the handling of the car. Am getting the front as soon as the dealer have it in stock.

What thickness is the standard teg sway bar??

The one i have put on is 18mm. they also do one at 20 mm.

I would recommend this to anyone.
