rsx has the tendence to oversteer instead of understeer so u will feel tail is not that stable ....

DAMN... this is the problem...
so can i do anything about it??
i really don't like it at all...
something bad may happen if i have any chance to rush fast for some reason...
i don't wanna get into any accident again...
that trailer smash shxt already gets in my mind... man...

the suspension on accord coupe u had is softer than rsx but its definely stiffer comparing to other lexury two doors coupe......

yah... i know... Accord coupe's suspension is surely not for family use...
well.... which is a good thing... :) hehe....
I had lots of pleasure driving the Accord.... :)

i dont think it should be that big of problem since rsx has pretty nice suspension setup already. i understand u just got the car not long ago but every car behaves differently. U should learn how the car will behave under certain condiction then u should be fine. Try to go to autox sometimes and drive ur car to the limit.

As long as the car doesnt feel like floating in the air at higher speed i found its more fun to drive the car like that ..... tail happy..

Hi Hi Hi RSX!
You know , the RSX is one of the most netural FF cars out there. Under hard conering, you can induce some oversteer to make your tail sweep around the corner faster. I love this quality! It is sometimes like driving a RWD car! Wings won't help you keep the tail down. You just need some time to getting used to :) Harder lowering springs will help keep the suspesnion travel shorter to make the car feel less "floaty" . Btw I drive '95 accord too before I got my Type-S


Here's a quote from Car&Driver's RSX review

"Understeer is the usual penalty for overdoing it, but we were pleasantly surprised at how responsive the Acura is to the throttle. Simply ease off as the car drifts wide of the chosen line, and it obediently tightens back up. There is some body rotation available if you brake deep into the bends, but the RSX is mainly yaw averse."



Chill and enjoy !

TO RSX:
according to Best motoring, RSX is a "DRIFTING CAR", which means tail happy is a normal phenomenal. Nevertheless, if u really want to fix this problem, i have a few suggestion (correct me if i am wrong~^^). First of all, lower your car will add central gravity, and and harder springs and shocks will definitely make the car more stable. Secondly, add a GT rear wing. This might not be necessary coz GT rear wing only works noticeably at high speed (say above 180km/h, i'm not sure). So if u don't mind the look, and u really hate the car flowing up and down on highway, a GT wing might help. Nevertheless, GT wing will create more drag(coz this is how it creates down force), so it probably will reduce the top speed, but i might be wrong.
this is the only suggestions i can think now, so... hopefully this may help u out. go to the forums of RSX, and post ur problems, i think ppl there will be more than happy to help u (many of them have racing experiences, so their advices should be reliable

BTW, i agree with SUZUKA here, ppl should understand their car thoroughly b4 they rush into any mods~^^

i think accord is more stable coz its suppose to be a family car..it has better shocks than stock rsx i believe. If u want a better comfort ride, change your shocks.

I think you meant Accord has more comfortable cushion shocks than RSX not better.

just out of curiousity..... will it help if rsx has front double wishbone instead of the struts ?!

By design Wishbone gives more control than Strut. Also Wishbone suspension isn't mount as high as Strut.

to JDM Spec:
I think it's not "bouncy"...
It's something else... more like "floating"...
So what could make a car like "floating"...??
I hate it when the RSX makes me feel that...
I want this problem resolved...

More weight means more force pushing down the car. Which increases traction basically what a spoiler does.

If you want to correct oversteer you can lower the rear of the car. However the Strut design makes it very unpredicatable if you do so.

Rear is double wishbone on RSX
Front is strut.

Just like Celica or any new BMWs
