Default Stiffen up suspension.

I am looking for ways to stiffen up my suspension. I currently have a GSR swap and when I go over 100mph I feel like the car is going to loose control so I don't do it ofter. Yes, I know should be at track only, well im getting there.

So what can I do to stiffen up my suspension?

Currently have Eibach Springs Pro-Kit

Would could help?

Rear Sway bar?
Shocks?
Strut bars?
Bigger Front Swap Bar?


Thanks Honda-Tech

in a straight line, some lower profile tires but hthey will better all round anyways. sway bars are more designed for cornering stiffness, but they may offer stability on the straights. also check ur bushing to see if they are worn out.

do u have an alignment done as well?

My EP3 has Tokico Dspec shocks/springs. 28mm front swaybar/22mm rear swaybar. Adjustable endlinks and strut bars all around. When the shocks are adjusted to stiff, my passengers hate me. I'd get an ES bushing kit but I don't have time to install it.

How does that help him stiffen up his suspension? Your just telling him your setup.

Are you stupid? I'm saying that those parts made my car really stiff and he could too. The answer to the other question is 4 for your information. Write it down.

what model civic do you have?? ex?dx? if you have the EX your running the stock front 22mm sway. That should be enough for a DD, what you'll need is a rear sway. You can either throw on the asr subframe with a 19+ rear sway. Or you can throw on a 13mm/14mm oem rear sway, it makes a good difference trust me.

As for shocks the eibach pro kit would go well with either agx's or illuminas. Either shock will be good but the illuminas is the better shock.

Bars? Some bars help and some dont, i'd recommend a cheap front/rear upper strut bar and maybe a NRG h-brace or front lower tie bar.

Gets aftermarket shocks first though. The stock can't handle the Eibach's spring rate. That'll be the biggest improvement you can get.
