get some rims that have a wider tire, like 7.5, and get a strut tower brace from DC Sports or Stillen, and some springs.

It is basic, I mean if you want to hug it even better, then you will have to get parts custom fabricated, but for now I think that would be what you want.

For actual performance... you don't want too low of a profile. a lightweight 16" or even 15" with a good performance tire will give the best overall grip. strut tower braces and stiffer roll bars will help. The best imrpovement will be from lowering the car and getting good adjustable high perforamcne shocks

Also look into the rear sway bar!

Under normal driving conditions mine hugs the road just fine. I have very little body lean around turns. Not quite sure why you would need more stability than what is built in. Perhaps if you're racing it but other than that....

What is "normal" for one isn't necessarily "normal" for others. As much as we may not like it, some people are more aggressive drivers on public roads.

The stock V suspension and tires will get squirrely pretty easily under... ahem... spirited conditions.

I agree 100%. I would suggest a rear swaybar. I have installed them on two of the sedans I owned before and they gave great results.

One was a 1.8 integra sedan and the other was a G20.

Also a good set of tires and wheels helps a great deal.

Along with how to make it go like a "bat out of hell" and look "pretty kewl"........ I try to put a lot of info there so check it out, tell me what you think and if there are any more questions give me a yell.
