For those of you who've modded your suspension, advice!
I like this car a lot, but it handles like a brick on ice compared to my Si. I'm not really concerned with power anymore, just want a car that can wind out some corners. I don't have 'great' tires on it and they are still on the stock 16s with recommended tire sizes. I just want to know what is the BEST route to go with suspension. I want to keep comfort for DD, but still be able to run corners 45+mph faster than they are suggested like I did in the Si.

i have buddy club coilovers, trunk bars, front strutbar, and a rear swaybar and my car handles pretty well imo maybe start with a rear swaybar and some trunk bars then move on to coilovers when you got some money you can set how soft you want the damping force on coilovers if you want a soft ride i have mine soft for daily and stiff for he track

you will find that the suspension design is inferior to the fg si you had. i recently installed dc5R suspension, which has a bit more dampening and stiffer spring rates .75" drop. The problem with rsx suspension is the macpherson strut design with the tie rods connected directly to the strut itself, pretty poor design if u ask me. sigh i miss my em1's suspension

That is a problem, but it is easily fixable via the aftermarket. The main problem is the rear suspension, which *cannot* be fixed. This is what causes the car to push so much because of the inferior geometry. The back end just doesn't want to follow the front or behave normally.
