The vagueness that you attribute to the dampers can also be caused by the flexible tire sidewalls and the relatively flimsy sway bars.

Check this out:

Si Front & Rear Sways on an EX Sedan
This is a good suggestion - I was thinking of sways before the springs, anyway.

Regarding the tires, 225 would not safely fit on a 6.5 inch wide rim. (That's the EX 16" rim size.)
