Sticky tires?

But a larger rear sway bar would be nice, you don't really need a front one if any get a smaller one. Just watch out for more oversteer :mwink:

Other things would be bushings or roll center adjusters if your pretty low, if you can take on the installation (which is a PITA) or pay for the labor to do it.

stiffer rear sway 05-06 RSX-S (21mm) with poly bushings. It'll cost you $30 ish for the bar and $10-20 for the bushings.

smaller front sway 03 Civic (15mm) with poly bushings. Same cost if not cheaper.

Other than that, wider wheels and better tires.

to be honest, im not to sure...sorry bud, my friends mechanically inclined but we didnt havea spring compressor so it would have been to difficult to do ourselves, so i just took it to a shop, i dont even know many inches its dropped i just said right to the tires lol. but actually it looks kinda like they lowered the back more then the front so me and my friend this weekend will lower the front more by like 1 thread to make it more even.
