2012 Civic HF

Suspension experts, I'm thinking of improving my 2012 HF handling.
Nothing crazy but simple improvement, I thinking of just replacing the rear with an Eibach unit. Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Since nobody else seems like they are gonna reply, I guess I will.
Sorry man, I deal with mostly stock stuff so I usually stay out of performance threads.
And I thought the HX is supposed to be the econobox car.



Grab suspension parts from a Civic Si? Bigger dia. wheels and low profile tires?

Maybe ask on one of the 9th gen civic forums like www.9thgencivic.com/

Thanks for the suggestion about the SI. Ya, econobox, but figure if I can improve the freeway driving experience - why not. I've read some where that for a simple upgrade, I should just get a bigger rear bar.

Yes upgrading the rear away bar to a larger one will help the car understeer less and corner flatter. A bar from an Si should be larger and will improve the handling. An aftermarket company may make a larger bar then the Si depending on how large you want to go.

Thanks for validating my thoughts. Enjoy your week.

Re: 2012 Civic HF

Update, I bought a Eibach 19mm rear bar. The bar leveled out any freeway movement. I'm happy that I made the change.
