Better Handling

[Red B16A]

I've got some tokico illumina shocks all around with a Type R fornt strut and Tenzo R rear strut, and I ve got some crapy APC adjustible coil overs with no lower sway bars(front or back). All on a 95 civic hatch, and I really want to get this baby a little better. I set the front shocks to 4 setting and rear to 3. The rear is nice and stiff, one of the wheels always comes off the floor when pulling into driveways.

Strut bars . . .
First get rid of the junk springs. Get some H&R springs from Tire Rack. After that, get an alignment and camber kits if needed depending on the drop.
If you have shitty tires, that's a good place to work on.
Get a stock front sway bar with poly bushings and a larger aftermarket rear bar. Sway bars, especially the rear one with make a huge difference.
Set the rear struts stiffer than the front.

Should I go with the race or sport springs

SPORT! i got them, they are very nice... not too bumpy, great handling, and not too much of a drop to cause you to buy camber kits... i also have a 95 civic, the handling is very thight now, all i need is new struts and sway bars

if you do the race springs they will be very bumpy and uncomfortable... unless your RACING!!, you will also need a camber kit with it.. so if its a ROAD (aka daily driver) get the sport... just my thought
