The driver. The unqualified ones tend to get nervous and shake at high speed.

exactly what kind of shaking are we talking about?

I had a little shake in the car which didn't affect the steering wheel at speeds of 200kmh and up. Turned out to be unbalanced rear wheels.

Yeah it could be balance, or alignment, or also tire pressure.

honda didn't manufacture a product that requires modifications to stabilize it. if you're encountering instability... it's the road, the driver or something is wrong with your car. check tire pressures, tire balancing, bent wheel, alignment etc etc etc.

I'm willing to bet that you're car is missing the wind deflectors behind the wheels.

don't forget about the TSB on the inner CV joints either, that causes shakiness in the rear at higher speeds. I am going today to get mine replaced.

The wheel strakes may have something to do with it.

Why does everyone make such a big deal out of them being ugly? I noticed them on a 911 parked across from me last week at work. They don't bother me on either car.
