really now fun is fun but i need some advice

 

dood... if you wanna own him on the corners... just stiffen ur rear. and get full coilover systems. tien are good... i have tanabe ss pros on my coupe and my friends in rexs just hates it when i am behind them in cornering and all they see is my hood... lol... but on the tracks... i'll be able to pass them up on the cornering. on a hatch, since it's lighter... u might want to stiffen the rear and make is little bit oversteer. this way, u'll have a sharper turn. as for hugging the corners... it's all about how ur car is setup and practice with it.. know how ur car is like... and tell ur friends to meet u at the tracks.. cuz on the streets.. it's a no-no. but if you want to make ur hatch stiffer over all... then get a cusco 6pt roll cage... cuz that does wonders on a hatch... i know, cuz i just rolled in one this past weekend with cusco suspensions mods all around... it was awesome...

 

LCA is lower control arm down by your struts and stuff btw...

 

aren't preludes really heavy? i've never heard of them handling

 

race him in stock trim fashion.... just put on some azeneis. probably beat that thing.

preludes handling, what's next torquey honda's????

 

that c pillar brace, where can i get one?

 

Thats what I'm saying. WTF. His hatch is gonna tear the lude a new one in every performance aspect. -Except interior styling or some stupid shit. (joking)

 

Tokyoracer is the only one with significant advice. You must balance tune your suspension as you stiffen it. It's one thing to stiffen the suspension to decrease body roll, but doing so and maintaining the suspension with the manufacturers inherent imbalance to understeer is somewhat a waste of time. You must dramatically stiffen the rear suspension when compared to the front. Obviously you can stiffen both the front and rear springs to an intolerable ride comfort rather easily when dealing with a street driven car. So the key is balance. Yellow Koni's are adjustable and can lower the car which lowers the center of gravity, increasing handling. Sway bars will reduce body roll, but the real concern is what size diameter for the front and what size for the back, remember we need to increase the back more then the front which will induce oversteer or counter balance the inherent understeer. Spring rate increases again will reduce body roll, but increases in the back springs will do more to increase handling then increases in the front. But the most important item for handling are tires. So to conclude, great tires, balance handling, decreased body roll, should be your goal in that order of importance. If you don't believe me try this experiment, leave your lousy tires on, increase your front sway bar to about 1 inch in diameter (25 mm) and race around an autocross course and come back and tell me how you did and which set of tires got all scuffed up, the front or the back.

 

Integras handle better than ludes stock. You don't have far to go.
