Thanks for info...where did you purchase your Bilsteins?
I see them listed at TireRack for $1050.
And..with the CR FSB are you cornering "flat" now?
Did keeping stock RSB help keep rear end from kicking-out?
The Bilsteins do sound like a great alternative...you can keep
at stock height or lower to -35mm.
Guessing your car is now racy and comfy?
And I like that the Bilsteins are just height adjustable..sounds like
a full time job trying to properly adjust damping etc.
Especially if you have no interest in racing/autox.
thanks again!

The CR bar got rid of a mid corner push for me.
Racy is questionable but comfy definitely, I like them though. I still auto x with them and they seem to be fine.

After having the car for 2 months...my feelings are that
the stock suspension is just awesome when taking long and
lower degree radius sweeping corners!
Where I'm unhappy with stock is when the corner is sharper and
the rear end...not kicking out...but just feels awkward to me at
point of turn-in.
And whats phenomenal is when I set up a tight corner..just like
I'm setting up my 80 ft. trctr/trailer...and make it a looping turn.
the car is just TRICK~
I'm either going to go with your exact setup...or might try the
Swift springs/CR FSB.
A "push" huh?
That's something I've yet to experience with this car...of course
I'm probably pushing at 6/10ths...when I'm sure you are
at 9/10ths...keep in mind I only have 4 days a month to drive
this "high-strung"....and what I would also describe as "athletic"
one-of-a-kind vehicles.
It's a trick car....strangers/family/ and alll people gush over the
looks...what I try to explain to them is the looks of this car is
just 1/10th of what this car is about...they need to enjoy the
engine...tranny..suspension..spirit..and just tight construction
to see it's an S thing...they just don't understand! haha!

The car is great and does or did have great suspension but I think Honda started listening to people complain about the rough ride and they went soft. In 08 they increased the stiffness in everything (springs, damping and bars) but 04-07 were the granny years as I call them
The rear shocks on my06 were really under damped and swift springs might take the pogo like feel to the next level which wouldn't be a good thing. If you have to wait to get the Bilsteins then that would be your best bet.
Until then have fun and if you can, checkout an auto x, it's tons of fun.
