90 Civic Sedan suspension question
I've got a 90' Civic DX Sedan, 150k miles. Not a fast car, but I like to push it through turns. I've noticed recently that my tires will scarpe the wheel well when I push the car hard enough. This is on 175/70 13 inch tires with no suspension mods. Am I just driving the car harder than I used to? Are my shocks getting soft? What are some negative results likely if I continue to take turns hard? For instance, I'm taking a recommended 25mph turn at 45mph. Any thoughts?

I'd say you're pushing the car a little too hard on a dying suspension.
I have a sedan with Eibach Sportlines and Tokico Blues with a set of 205/40 ZR16 tires mounted under there... I only scrape when really pushing it in the twisties. Of course, my car also has Suspension Techniques front and rear anti-sway bars, but that's another story.
