btw i just looked it up and you got my friends old car. the one i am talking about with the b16 engine swap. did you get it from a kid named jay that lived in west co? this is the car i have been talking about about being bouncy... i loved the ride of it. hows it been going? i know when he had it, that it ran real ruff

its a bucket. I have spent epic amounts of time fixing all kinds of stupid simple shit that was wrong with it. It quit running 'ruff' after the first 20 minutes I owned it... thats how long it took me to fix the problems that made him crazy enough to sell the car. unfortunately, there are all kinds of things that look like they were done by blind down syndrome kids that I have had to go through and redo above and beyond that.
the car has (had) about $1000 in suspension on it, you don't handle like this car did for "cheap". the reason it may have been bouncy is that he had 13/14 inch steelies on it with crappy economy tires. with a set of decent wheels and tires this car is rock solid in the corners. but tell him thanks, he practically gave it to me.

ya i loved the suspension on the car, and ya i figured it was cus of the tires and wheels. i dont know what he was thinking when he sold the car. would a h brace and rear lower control arm bar (i think its what they are called) help out alot on handleing?

i was surprised when i put the 4 point front lower tie bar ( the H brace you speak of) but without other suspension mods you wont notice anything

well its already got goldline springs, upper strut tower bar, and rear upper also. i was gonna get the lower stuff next

i thought you didnt like your ride height or something?

first of all goldline springs blow. i had a set on my girlfriends del sol and i couldnt stand them, you need to upgrade your shocks and springs first, your entire car is riding on those four shocks and springs, everything else is just for ridgitity, so if you get the right shock/spring combo, or coilover, these other componets will work better as well. also, if you want lower stuff, skip tie bars and go for sway bars, your hatch has none.

what ones will bolt up? i saw how mine has holes but didnt find any other civics with them at the junk yard the other day... anyone have one?

well any ones from DC integras will work or civic EX's or del sol fronts will work on your car, you will need EX front lower control arms because they have the holes for the end links, in the back you can use like a GSR sway bar, or a type R rear sway bar, this takes a little reasurch so i would be looking into it
