Default too many bar/ wrong combo?

yea i have a 92 civic si,tockico illuminas,skunk2 coilovers, ST rear sway bar w/beaks kit,neuspeed front upper, greddy rear upper,benen rear lower and a js strong bar. when i run around corners some times i slide around them kind as if my rear end is too stiff i am considering getting a front lower bar now as well, do you think that i am stiffing up my chasis too much? is a front lower even worth my time? is my spring rate/strut combo not enough to cope with the chasis rigidety? does this make any sense?

There are a couple of different things that will help make your car 'rotate' thru the corners more than stock. People who frequent this forum usually find it desirable, to a point. If you set your car up for too much, it can be a handful or just downright dangerous, especially in the wet. The benefit is a more nuetral handling car that will make it thru the corners quicker. You didn't mention what alignment settings you have or if you have done it since lowering the car. Toe out in the rear will have a big effect there. The ST rear bar will definitely help to add some rotations. The Illuminas should be able to handle the Skunks. What shock settings are you running? A higher setting in the back will also contribute to rotation. Another thing to consider is how much travel you actually have before hitting the bump stops. If you are on them, you basically have a infinite spring rate, which will definitely lead to too high a slip angle or in other words, your tires slipping too much.
