Stiffer rear springs and sway bar, softer springs with more Toe out in front.
I would PM Honda318dx, he knows alot more then most people on here aboot this..

First thing would be to get a stiffer rear anti-sway bar (I have Honda318dx - Corey Jacob's old bar ). Also, Run higher spring rates in the rear have helped me tremendously with turning the lude into an oversteering machine....

Throw a ST rear sway bar on there and you'll never have to worry about that again

don't waste your money on strut bars.

sway bar, rear spring rates, rear tire pressure, and a staggered wheel setup if you're desperate.

i've found that the first 3 are sufficient in getting my car to rotate.

What about removing weight from the nose of the car? i.e. battery relocation, a/c or p/s removal...
