Do you have a stock rear sway? ( a fatter one makes you oversteer)

Run your rear shocks at full soft and your fronts a bit harder than full soft, tinker from there.

Is your alignment in check?

Rear tires worn/old and hardening???

wow .... an oversteer civic ......

and he didn't mention anything about having a rear sway bar ....

check condition of tires .... tire pressure ..
shocks setting ... a soft rear setting should take out the oversteer ...

-stiffer springs in the front and softer springs in the back
-invest in 26mm front sway bar
-reduce the size of your rear sway bar
this should help create some understeer if not neutralize you setup.

tell...
