airjordan223 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 well if you get the si i believe it comes with strut bars but im not sure. either way, once you get aftermarket springs/shocks or coilovers the handling will greatly improve and you can also get anti-sway bars under the car like i did and theres basically zero body roll now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 My Del Sol VTEC handles great for stock....very impressive really for nothing done. However, I believe the VTEC model has a better suspension than the s and si models so that doesn't help much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddySol Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'd say del Sols are a pretty good handling cars - throw some decent suspension on the car and you can get a nice handling car. Considering they were banned from touring car cause they dominated the field so much and Progressive suspension was able to get the Sol to a 1.00g on the skidpad. S - didn't get a front stabilizer bar till 1996 (21mm) Si - 93-95 (front - 21mm) and 96-on (front - 22 mm/rear - 13mm) VTEC - All models (front - 24mm/rear - 15mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 your trying to compare a 2 door coupe and a 4 door civic? the del sol will def handle better than the 4 dorr civic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolFreak Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 plus the del sol has double wishbone suspension whch ur civic does not have. Double wishbone+light weight= BAD ASS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducttape2334 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 it handles so well that if you put a huge aluminum wing on the back of it the del sol flies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddySol Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 plus the del sol has double wishbone suspension whch ur civic does not have. Double wishbone+light weight= BAD ASS! It was the 96 Civics that lost the double wishbone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I will say this, though: Yes the 93 sis handle alright, but I had a 95 s model with new rear LCAs, new front and rear UCAs, Tokico illumina struts and springs (1.5" drop) before I had this stock 93 si and I missed that old setup almost immediately.
