I have a 91 EF hatch and I used a lot on that page to build it
Koni Yellow/Ground Control/ES/Steel Braided Brake Lines/Upped the Master Cylinder/New Brakes all around/Replaced tie rod ends
Very happy with the set up. Night and day difference. I definetly agree to start autox before and after, the body roll factor is immensely different but it does prepare you as to how your car handles.
Can't wait for Gainesville on the 20th of February!

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

thanks a lot for the info guys... im thinking about going with that setup except for a few things... ive already replaced my brakes but i was thinking about leaving the master cylinder alone... is that ok or should i replace it? will it make that much of a difference? and what about going with skunk2 coilovers instead of ground control? i have 2 sets that people want me to buy right now... one is off of a '95 integra and the other is off for my car... wouldnt the integra spring rates be higher therefore reducing body roll and giving me a better feel and better handling? im not too concerned with the ride on the street... im willing to sacrifice a lot... and what will new tie rods do for my car? sorry about all the questions... kinda new to this car and i dont want to spend money on things that wont make a huge difference right now... thanks a lot

Go to an autocross and see what it's all about. Have fun.
Then, read these two books.

Then read this book and start to think about what you need to do to the car to make it behave how YOU want it.
