1999, 4 door, stick, white.

I am actually liking the stock suspension and probably will not lower it as early as expected. I will wait till the shocks are shot. (are there any way to kill them quicker? :evil )

anyways, I found a little problem... at freeway speed (50mph&gt, as long as I am on the accelerater, I feel comfortable changing lanes (or steering in general). But when I let go of the gas and try to steer, I feel like the car is going to lose control (an understeer feeling perhaps). Why is that? Tires are new but stocks (185/65/14).

 

any pull when you let go of the wheel? vibration? sounds more like your alignment is out of whack.

no... not really. meanwhile, there is a bit of "dead zone" when the steering wheel is at top dead center. And there's a little vibration on the steering wheel.

 

HONDA SHIMMY FTW!!!!
dude every honda i have owned has a a shimmy at freeway speeds with stock suspension.

 

odd. both my civics ride like caddy's at 105 with stock suspension.

 

shimmy? ? ? ?


like Caddy? so you mean they are smooth but boat-like?


anyways, so you think it's still an alignment problem?
