Did a search and didn't come up with anything but what could I do to possibly make the turning radius of my car better?
Turning Radius?
- Thread starter Solo500
- Start date
No I haven't lowered it yet but I plan on getting Eibachs soon. How much did you pick up the control arms for?
I thought I was the only one that had this problem
All I know is mine sucks!!! 
Wide wheels = bad turning radius.
Think about it. Your wide front wheels would hit things like the inner fender if you were allowed to turn any sharper. Its a trade off but a civic can turn on a dime because it has narrow front wheels so they can allow them to be turned in further.

Dump the cluth with the wheels locked, you'll do a 180....
CC plates will help.
The steering rack has limiters on it to prevent rubbing (I'm pretty sure both sides have them). If you go w/a smaller tire w/the correct offset, you could (theoretically) put smaller limiters or remove them.
If you don't like the turning radius on our cars, try driving a Fox body. I love my '99 compared to my '91!

Lowering our cars change the steering geometry by a certain percentage. The 04 Control arms give you back about 10 percent better geometry. Tously Ford will get you a good deal on the control arms. It's a noticeable difference. I more so changed out the control arms because I wanted to replace the stock 01 arms anyways with a beefier 04 component
