i have a sedan, but i can surely agree to the 'floating' feeling you described.

the rear toe is set too mildly as if it's already at zero toe for tire wear
and fuel economy reasons... the rear wanders a tad when one side of
the car goes over a bump. this unsettling feel was apparent on not
only my EX sedan, but on other 06 civics.

When i do finally lower the ride down the road, i would set the rear
toe to about 0.10 to 0.12 degrees each side. this should minimize
the rear floating/shifting feel.

anyone know the factory rear toe setting? thanks.
