Default Integra 90-93 suspension

Integra 90-93 suspension, which is quite weak, is one of the weakest suspensions I've ever seen. The suspension elements (I'm talking about the front) are very thin, the ride on bad roads aren't even comparable to my elder Nissan 200sx or even my 1999 Ford Fiesta.

Let's say we're preparing Integra '91 for rally. What can we do to make the suspension very strong like a new generation car ?

i would like to ask how you come to the conclusion that the 90-93 specific suspension is weak. im pulled man hondas apart and its just as beffy, and in some conditions beefier than the new hondas.

the ride is harsher on this car because the wheel base on the second gen tegs is shorter than the dc/eg model cars.

You can find new tubular control arms or brace the OEM ones, it's amazing what boxing stamped steel does for strength.

90-93 Integras have cast steel control arms, not stamped.
