When You Put That Bigger Front Swaybar I Thought It Hurts Your Handling My Car Is Pretty Low Tires R Almost Tucked. I Was Going To Put A Bigger Bar But I Am Afraid It Will Hurt My Handling

The design of the front suspension is such that if you lower it much more than .75-1 inch, you screw up the rollcenter. Once the front lca's go past flat and start to angle up your car will feel less "crisp" in turns and you will seem to blow through the suspension travel in he turn. There is a correction for this, They are called "rollcenter correctors" and J's racing makes them. Lots of bucks though and a pia to put them in. Do your self a huge favor and do not slam your poor rsx, if "wheel gap" bothers you, go to some 225/45-17 tires, they will fill your wheel wheels........;)

the best looking stance is the one that you like, from what I know the best handling stance is a drop if about 1.4.....but once you get into the world of handling your going to have much more to thing about other then drop lilke spring rate, sways, dampeners, tie bars, tires, wheel weight, brake system, body bracing,......for now I would say get some good coilovers and set the hight to what you want.

It's a very subjective question....

Take a look at some of the many pictures on the forums and see what you like - for looks.

For feel, that too is subjective, but these guys are correct in saying that a front drop of more than .75 - 1" will screw up your handling. Unless you buy a bunch of other very expensive custom geometry-correcting components.
