About the strut settings u have: From my understandind the end that u tighten up more will loose traction first. Or should I say if u loosen the front and tighten the back u move ur car to the oversteer side and if u tighten the front and looses the back u have understter.
Maybe u meant to say over instead of under but what u did with ur seetings will lean ur car to the oversteer side

yea, I mean that my setting induce more OVERsteer. Thanks for pointing it out. :thumbup:
Cliff notes for the author & other readers - Thanks to Polakatl:
Shock's Setting:
Soft Front & Stiff Rear = More Oversteer - Easier to Turn (or Overturn)
Stiff Front & Soft Rear = More Understeer (Harder to Turn, or Underturn.)

For the rest of us WITHOUT adjustable suspension... 
We had this long discussion on the other board. Stock < CL-S/TL-S < Suspension Techniques/Neuspeed < Comptech < Eibach < Neuspeed Race
The Neuspeed Race swaybars are adjustable sways, which can be adjusted to perform with understeer or oversteer. Both is based upon driver preference in the long run anyway. Unfortunately, the Neuspeed Race sways are discontinued.
The Eibachs have been reported to feel awesome and giving a near-perfect balance, but a slight twitch of oversteer.
The Comptechs have been said to be track-tested and balanced. This led me to the decision of going with Comptech bars and they've held up their word to all of my auto-x/mountain run experiences. The price of these sways is what will make you go with the Eibach ARK instead.
The Suspension Techniques have been overlooked to say that they don't perform as well as the Comptech or Eibach but in reality they're nearly just as good because although retaining a smaller bar size than the C- or E- sways, they're still a much heavier metal composition than the stock or type-S bar.
The Neuspeed bar has been claimed to be good to its owners as well.
The Acura OEM Type-S bars installed on an Accord has been claimed to feel a noticible difference, however, many owners have ended up buying real sways and going the whole way to attain the entire difference in the handling of their cars.
Keep in mind when you purchase the Type-S sway bar, you only purchase the rear because the front type-S bar is practically the same as our V6's. With our FF layout, the rear is the part that needs to be beefed up anyway.
Hope the writeup's been of help to anybody shopping out there.
