Default Opnions to make my EJ handle better..

I have a 00 Civic Ex with a ITR motor and I need the car to handle much better than how it is now. I currently changed the stock suspensions to H&R sports springs on KYB AGX shocks, Type R front strut tower bar and a Megan lower rear tie bar. What else can I upgrade or add to make the car handle better in turns and overall ride? Any helpful comments would be appreciated. Thanks

what sway bars and tires are you running?

if your sway bars are stock, 22mm front & no rear, upgrading to a 24 front, either afternarket or from a non LS integra, and a decent sized rear bar, ITR for example, would do wonders for your handling. that will probably slow the turn-in slightly, but make the back of the car much more compliant and willing to rotate in corners. also, unning a rsb bigger than about 19mm on an ek is asking for trouble without some kind of subframe reinforcement, i/e ASR of Comptech. beaks would be fine for a small bar like a 19, but much above that a heavy duty reinforcement kit is all but necessary

all the suspension in the world will do you no good if your tires cant hold the corner, i woudl actually suggest getting good tires first if you dont have them already, it would make diagnosing handling issues much easier sa they come up.

sell your car, buy an '86 corolla. J/K. This is what my asshat friend tells people after they ask for his opinion.
