Does anybody have this same problem with the wide turns? How can i make my turns less wide. Is it because of the drop?? Thanks

Turning radius... I've noticed it too. I've had two ep3s. The first one I'd have to do many three and four point turns and the one I currently have i dont

I could be wrong, but i think rsx-s tie rods will help

I think McTaggart is right. I'm running RSX tie rod ends due to my DC5-R suspension and I don't have this issue. The studs on the RSX tie rods ends are a larger diameter than the EP3 ones. FYI, RSX Type-S, RSX base and honda elements all have the same tie rod ends.

But will those tie rods fit my EP3 specific coilovers?

Im first going to go for another alignment because my cars steering doesnt straighten up completely by itself when i turn and press the gas

No, they will not fit EP3 specific coilovers unless you take them to a machinist so he can taper the steering arm to accept the larger diameter stud. I know some guys on clubep3 did this so they could run inverted RSX tie rod ends, I'll see if I can find the link...

Or you can always pick up some RSX specific coilovers :mbiggrin: I don't even bother looking up EP3 suspension parts, RSX got all the better products

I had a new 2005 ep and first thing I noticed was how shitty the turning radius is for a small car.

I'm selling my '09 F-150 for a '13 V6 Mustang and the Mustang's steering and turning radius is heavenly.
