Integra Setup?

I'm working on getting this 94 Integra to turn. It still understeers, even though I've unhooked the front sway bar, softened the front shocks & stiffened the rear shocks. Any of you Integra guys willing to share your setup? This car has 550F 850R with a 19mm rear bar.
 
Alignment settings? you may be running out of front suspension travel with no front bar and actually making the car worse.
 
You will need MUCH more rear swaybar. If the car still will not rotate then look to adjust the rear toe and/or rear tire pressures. Is this a race car? If so those springs rates are too low.
 
What they said ^^^^

More spring at both ends, more rear spring bias, more rear bar, more rear pressure.
 
1 - Hook your front sway bar back up before you start blowing axles.
2 - Increase both of your spring rates a lot; like, 35-50%.
3 - Get a real man's rear sway bar. My rusty '91 crapbox I drive on the streets has a 19mm on it.
 
Yeah, this is a track only race car. I have a set of #700's sitting on the shelf. Good for the front I think. So what you are saying is at least #1000 for the rear? I cant find anything bigger than 21mm for the rear. OK?
 
You're definitely getting in the ballpark w/ spring rate.

MORE bar. IIRC, you can get OEM sizes to 23mm. Aftermarket goes to 26mm solid (Mugen) and ASR makes a speedway style hollow bar. Look at custom stuff if you have to.

700 on the front with the sway bar is in the ballpark. You'll probably may want more than 1000 in the rear. For the rear bar, either get the Mugen 26mm or call Charleston at ASR for one of his nice kits - www.asrparts.com
 
For reference, I am running the following on my ITS Integra.

800F / 1200R springs
18mm F / 24mm R bars

The bars and shocks are tuned to be neutral to loose. Very nice to drive and turns in great. Pay attention to corner weights, alignment, and that nothing is loose or bent. Also be sure nothing in binding, esp in the rear. The rear has to move in 2 planes and it is easy to get it bound up with bad bushings or bent parts.

Good luck.

Would you care to share camber, toe and caster??
