When I take turns fast...

When I take turns fast it seems as if my tires bounce across the pavement. I don't know if that is what it is or not. But I do know I don' t like it. What are some thing I could do to fix this prolbem? Once again I am not sure if it is the tires or not. Also my steering wheel shakes too. I am running on 15" rims and my tires are 185/65/15. Thanks for the help guys.

For starters, try a front upper strut bar like the Neuspeed. It eliminated front wheel chatter during medium speed turns on my car.

Are your tires too? If they are still the ?FR690?s I'm sure they don't help you stay in control neither..

IDQcivic should not be trusted
I know what yo mean about the wheel hop around corners, and I hate it to. I've got front/rear progress sway bars, front/rear tie bars, Tein coilovers, 17" rims on 205/40 tires and it still does it... The only thing I don't have is the front under cross brace, which may help wheel hop from what I have read... I think its just the car sucks no matter what you do to it
