Default Front end suspension Question??

This might be an easy fix but i need to ask it..I have a 94 ej1 and when you get up to about 70-80 Mph the front end starts to get a little floaty..Is that because its a front wheel drive car? Or do i need some kind suspenion parts to help this.Im currently on stock suspension but in about 2 weeks it will be getting FF type ones, Function 7 lca's, and a ASR rear brace..Will this help the Floating problem i am experiancing in the Front?

LMK Honda-tech

Thanks, NICK

it is just the nature of eg chassis and most 4cly fwd cars my girls moms fit gets uber scary at 85-90

the only thing u listed that will help floating is the type 1's only cause u can lower center of gravity down other stuff unless u are xcrossing or road racing is a waist on the street

Lowering it and putting better suspension on will help. There's aerodynamic stuff you could do too, but that's not necessary.

No problem, however it were me, i would do them now, on a 94 they are most likely worn, my 98's are beat to ****, lower it, tie rods, ball joint and get it aligned.

I guess there the same thing, although that's what we call them in the UK.
