Default unstable civic coupe

my civic coupe feels very unstable, if i go over a bump fast the car wobbles allot. sometimes i feel like im gona loose control. Also my mate drove it and said the same thing.

Could it be that my springs are worn?... or are coupes generally like that? Would anlignment be a cause of it? Any suggestions...?

I got a coupe w/ stock suspension and it wobles a lot also going over bumps and stuff. I just think it's because the stock suspension is really soft and it causes the car to sway like that. But what do I know...I just got it a month ago. Maybe stiffer suspension would keep the car from swaying while going over bumps. I plan on getting omni coilovers myself pretty soon I hope. SO theres my 2 cents and I hope it helped you out some

Any suggestions...? Might be shocks, might be ball joints, might be something else. Take it to a shop and have them diagnose it. </TD></TR></TABLE>

i have the energy suspesion kit on my '94 civic coupe and it is kick's ***, the only things is that the suspension doesn't really like the fact i have some steelies and factory tires on it because the sidewals are to big and it falls all over itself ........not for long though
