Does anyone know of or has anyone added anything to their suspension to tighten it up?
Are there cross members out there to add, if you want to, for either the top or the bottom of the shock towers? Rears??
I've seen these on previous gen Honda's so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with kinda stiff for 9th Gen
 
stiffer sway bars - only thing I've seen so far besides different springs/coilovers. Progressive ones from the 8th gen work, or there are the eibach ones for the 9th
 
^^I was lookin for things to tighten up the chassis other than the actual suspension parts themselves like springs/coiilovers sway bars.
Part of the challenge with having a unibody is the fact that there is not an actual frame so there is more flex in the body when cornering. Sometimes people use bars to help overcome the body flex.
 
Seems to me I saw a red bar in the front, right under the hood, that supported the frt shock towers to each other, from left to right, vice/verser(Spelling?).
 
you may be thinking of dar-dar's tanabe strut bar he posted (but he has an 8th gen civic)

That's another thing I think would help is to have our cars listed (in this case he might have, I'm just thinking in general).
