rear end swing
I have a problem with my 95 hatch. When I am doing aggressive driving the rear end wants to come around pretty easy. I have Skunk2 springs, full GSR suspension including swap bars, front strut tower brace. Is there something that I can do to help with this?
Thanks in advance
Scott

Re: rear end swing
I am running a set of 14" honda alloys with 185/60s on them. Tire pressure is always set at 30 psi. Ride height and dampers settings are not adjustable. Height is standard for Skunk2 springs.
As far as the strut tower brace being a waste of cash, I didn't pay for it. I got it off of another hatch that I owned.

Re: rear end swing
How good are your trailing arm bushings, or the bushings in general.
Suspension isn't really my thing. My car had real bad snap oversteer when my toe was +.
When was the last time you had a alignment?

those would be my next questions also.... if it is aligned, what are your camber/toe settings? tq spec on your end links? did you put the car under its own weight when you tq'ed the end links? I am under the right impression that you have both the F&R sway bars from the gsr, right? not some funny combo of aftermarket and stock...

Re: rear end swing
As far as I can tell the bushings are all in good condition, meaning that the are not dryrotted and that they are not loose. I have done an alignment on it and it is within specs. Forgot to mention that I have front and rear camber kits as well. Yes the car was under its own weight when we torqued the links. And, yes it is stock sway bars from a GSR.
I do not know the spring rates off hand.

Re: rear end swing
dampers in good condition?
if so, i would be inclinded to say that its the tires. too much suspension input during hard driving and your tires don't have enough grip.

Re: rear end swing
are the springs rated for an integra or hatch? Integras have a heavier rated spring which is why you notice it when you try and slalom. normal everyday driving you wouldn't notice it as much
