Default what can i do to handle good?

I want my Civic hatch to handle better. I have Azenis, CTR shocks/springs, ASR subframe brace (waiting on endlinks for 22mm ITR rear sway). I want it to be tight without having to wear a hollister shirt.

Can't go wrong with a holister shirt. It has been proven unlike other mods.

Your car needs an engine dampner!

Also, you need to practice driving to be a better driver. So you need to do some high-speed canyon runs or try drifting in an industrial park something.

Chris - Let's chat when we are at the ITRCA.com expo. These guys are right about seat time though. You can catch me up to speed & I'll check out the car & provide some recommendations. Then you can tell me about the RM cams

Sound like a plan? My advice is free since you are a sponsor

They are a MUST. They were banned in H1, so they MUST be good.

Until you get a whole lot of experience, minor mods like canards aren't going to make you any faster. Right now you are only using a tiny fraction of your car's capabilities.

That's why everyone is telling you to worry about seat time...

I think that's Andy Hope. Chad Slagg says he's really slow.
