yeah i've seen the thread with the ohlins but they re out of my price range. With my stock suspension and 255 non staggered, the car feels unstable when pushed hard around corners. The back definitely wants to come out and I don't have much confidence. It doesn't feel planted. Will Pss9's make the car "stick" better and restore the balance (higher spring rate up front vs. rear)? I am wondering whether to get pss9's or kw v2's...

If you are on a budget, I would simply buy the CR dampers.. Balanced by Honda out of the box..

What spring would you pair with CR shocks for a mild (<1") drop but enough spring rate to keep your tires out of the liners? Or best to get ground control with a custom rate?

I believe the swift spec Rs were made for the CR dampers, slightly stiffer spring rate and those who have put em on the track havent complained much about riding bump stops etc...

I put on the whiteline fsb and it made a pretty big difference. less oversteer and more neutral now, the car really sticks. And less body roll which makes it corner flatter and makes it easier to drive. All in all, a worthwhile mod
