1st post here. I drive a 96 EX Coupe. Looking to make it a daily driver but with excellent handling for hopes of having some fun at Sebring or AutoX events, looking more for road racing though. I know there are some conflicts with having a daily driver car and a track car. A lot of it is driving skill out there too. I dont expect good parts to make me the ultimate racer i'm just looking to test my cars limits and have fun. Currently I have Neuspeed Sport Springs, Ractive front and rear stut bars with 205 width General Exclaim Tires. Dont tear me apart if they arent the best parts I didnt pick them. I was looking into swapping the rear drum for the SI disc for extra braking power. Then anti-roll or sway bars but how do i know what strength to get? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Nobody does this sort of thing?

 

Not sure about the sway bars, I don't know too much about them regarding different sizes. I'd imagine that you should get around the same size as what comes on the Si.

Other advice I have for you is to change all of your fluids. Run a 60/40 water/antifreeze coolant mix for better cooling than 50/50.

 

Would it be any upgrade to just use the stock SI swaybar?

 

yea, it would help. actually, if i were you that would probably be what i would do.

 

I had no idea it was any different. Now I see the stock sway bar for the front but I do not see one in the back. I would think a stiff rear would help a FWD car so the rear end could slide out a little bit rather than the front sliding with understeer. I havent even pushed my car to its limits on the streets yet i'm a bit nervous to when I took a turn that on a stock vehicle at 30mph you feel like your going too fast well I acceleated around it and went 55mph just hugging didnt squeal or slide. I knew the limits of my stock EG but my EK with the few mods it has it just unbelievable the difference. Pushing the car to its limits on public roads is just a big risk because its unknown what is on the road or what you could hit so i'm being the responsible person and i'll attempt things on a closed course.
