I am not tracking this car, i just like the drive spiritedly through corners haha. but i also feel safer knowing that my car can handle corners better and knowing that it doesn't drive like a boat.

Any other suggestions for what else i should do?

well since you don't track it, the Si sways should be good enough for everyday driving and having it feel more planted. Get the front and rear sways :3 with the rear only, there is a bit of oversteer but the front still wanders a bit. With the F&R, it feels more planted and handles much better.

I feel ya taking corners on stock suspension feels sloppy and the body roll is just horrible. Freeway driving is a bit scary because the car feels like its floating -_-

Ya. I was going to do the rear first than rear later. Only thing that gets annoying is even with the hip kit I feel almost every bump. Luckily there is enough clearance for curbs and speed bumps. Thank god about that.

Um no, get the rear si sway and keep the r18 front and that'll perform better..you want a small front not a bigger one...

I want to get the rear Si sway first but do I really need to get new endlinks? on the DIY threads, people used the same ones..but some others insist that you get new ones. I cant do it myself due to lack of equipment and experience of course, so i'll have to take it to a shop to do it also.. hopefully they get it right..LOL

Well that's depressing. Sounds like you hate it... Maybe you should have gone to another dealership.

Thank you for the advise! Where I'd the cheapest place to get it? I was thinking of getting it from hondapartscheap.com since I can pick it up from them.
