I want better response!

[super_civic]

Ok I have a 99 Civic hatch that doesnt have much done to it...so lets just say its bone stock.
Im really looking for some kick ass steering response, I want to be able to barely nudge the steering wheel and have the car swirve quick.
What are the best ways to improve steering response and turning ability?
I am in no means rich, so I dont have an off-the-walls budget but I have money...
I want a hard suspension that has good cornering ability but I can still use as a DD I guess.
Any suggestions from the suspension pros on azht?

You'd be suprised what a nice bushing kit and a quality full coilover can do for response :)

[super_civic]

Could you be specific?
Any set of new bushings? And what brand Coilovers?

Whats your budget.

+Azenis

+Azenis

True that.

Once again, name a budget otherwise i might as well list off top of the line ish since we have no starting point!

[super_civic]

About $1600? Give or take a couple hundred lol

i'd get a set of azenis, a set of Omni or Ksports, and a Energy Bushing kit, that'd hit that budget pretty closely on the nose.

Thats it?
Anything else that might help out? If I can attain more money?

i wouldn't use kSports, ive seen some blow out pretty fast.

Skunk2 pro S, now come with pillowtop on all full coilovers. 600$ for those. Spend 400$ on a full race traction bar.
Spend 300$ on a set of azenis
spend 150$ on Hids so you can see that road, an 150$ on road racing lessons.

Total: a stock engine car going slow around turns.

Im not a huge fan of the K-sports myself, but so many swear by them.

I love the S2 Pro series and the OMNI personally.

I got some Skunk2 pro-c coilovers almost brand new cheap forsale they hanlde great and you can adjust how low you want your car and the damper, let me know
also I say sway bars would help you too....

I've had 2 sets and still don't like them

My second set was the upgraded version and rode a lot better+clicked when you adjusted dampening, but they're still eh

Well I meant the car is basically stock suspension wise.
I just dont like blabbing about what I put into the engine bay. Im sorry to say, but there are a lot of theives on azht lol.

I think ill go with K-Sport full coilovers, a friend of mine swears theyre the best bang for your buck coilovers...
Do you have to weld a traction bar on or are they straight bolt-on?
My wheels right now are Rota Slipstreams 205/50/R15 with Kuhmo ASX's...and theyre not doing the job im looking for. How are Azenis with regular driving and tread life?
