Mine just drives like a boat around corners. No idea why, it always has and stuff I did didnt help. Unfortunately a strut tower brace wont clear my intake (I had one and tried). Really I want a car thats moderately quick and handles great. Its just not going to be this car. ---

Its just not going to be this car. The thing is though, it CAN be. Look at the SCCA guys moping shit up with the foxbodies on the road courses. Thats what i want to build eventually when I have some $ to throw at nothing. ---

Its a 99 civic Si. Omni street series coilovers. Omni front upper control arms, function 7 rear lower control arms, skunk 2 pro series rear camber arms. Megan racing front upper strut bar, Megan racing rear lower tie bar. The tires that are on it now are 205/50 15 Kuhmo escata MX in the front, escata ASX in the rear.
