K i guess your steering wheel feels really lose. I would say that your stuck with it. Maybe buy a new stering wheel and new manual rack? What model car is it. My hf is pretty scary sometimes. But i just believe its that way because its an hf crx. What year and model car do you have? Could just be crappy stock feel of a low end model car from the 80s.

if you currently have cut springs on stock struts. i can believe hitting a bump on a turn can make u lose control.. as long as u put something decent in you will be fine..

Yes, that "be" normal. Try just lifting the throttle next time.

ditch the APC coilovers and get a nice set....like GroundControl or whatever you are willing to spend. Suspension is something you don't want to go the cheap route with.

my 93 cx is rock steady at 90mph crusing when im commuting down I5. here's my setup

- AGX/GC coilovers all around
- 15" rota c10's
- that's it.

it was a bit less steady with stock suspension and 13" steelies, i was unlikely to cruise above 80mph. upgrading tires made the most difference.
your coil overs maybe set too low, so you maybe riding your bumpstops, causing you to have to suspension at all

**edit** sounds like you are riding your bumpstops as well as your shocks are blown
