If I wanted to make an EK hatch with some 15" Rota's handle flat(ish) and ride pretty much as well as stock, how would I go about it? I always figured that flatter handling compromised ride quality greatly, but after having a go in a Cayman S, and feeling it ride far better than my mums diesel VW golf (or rabbit, as I believe its called in the USA), I'm on a quest to sort out my Civic! I imagine the only way is to stiffin the car up considerably before doing any suspension work, but I dont really want a rollcage, and im fairly sure my insurance company doesn't either!

 

Why would your insurance company not want you to have a roll cage?

 

I don't even know you and I don't want you running a roll cage on the street.....


but to answer your question, what is your budget?

 

i think having a roll cage might give you an extra sense of security and make you more likely to do stupid things.

 

And murder people when you run into them and your car doesn't crumple.
