no i did not have any rattles. but by replacing my bushings with urathane ones i noticed a great improvement in the handling and the ride itself. the attitude of the vehichle was greatly improved, pitch was reduced, body roll was reduced, the only thing that took a negative effect was road noise since the stiffer bushings couldnt absorb the vibration as well as the softer stock versions.

Could this be from the short wheel base? It has Good Tires and suspension and the alignment is good as well. The car has had no accidents and drives great but its crazy how it wants to spin.
This was about at only 60km and its done it at 40 too.
P.S. It seems to only do this when turning RIGHT but i am not positive.

I found it strange that it came with power sunroof power mirrors, but manual windows and doorlocks....oh well Honda got paid for that.......
I encountered the same problem which I fixed by changing the suspension and upgraded sway bars. I did all 4 bars. Front top/bottom Rear Top/Bottom and there was no swaying of the rear of the car.
Since your riding on stock shocks your really not going to get the best performance on corners since the car rolls when turning.
