My integra seems to be feeling looser than ever lately, and its not a good thing 
Im looking for some help, or suggestions, from some suspension experts to make it drive like new again.
background info:
The suspension setup consists of some cheap, relatively soft, coilover sleeves, kyb agx shocks f+r, skunk2 front upper control arms(camber kits), skunk2 rear camber kits. the aftermarket parts have only a few thousand miles at most. everything else is stock, although i cant be sure that its original. i did a carfax, and the body of the car has a little over 200k miles. current power is over 350whp, running drag radials all the time.
The symptoms that i dont like are...
-when i get into a sustained curve (like an on/off ramp for instance) the car will suddenly reach a point where it will "squat". in other words it will remain flat at first but if i push it a little more i can feel the car suddenly lean and feel less planted, less stable.
-when i hit boost (in a straight line obviously) the front of the car feels very loose, but its not traction. i understand torque steer, but this is more like a lack of stability. in 3rd and 4th gear pulls for instance, it will pull so hard to one side or the other that i have trouble maintaining a lane.
i have always felt that this integra has felt "loose" compared to a couple other integras i have owned before. im afraid that its getting worse now though. what all should i look into replacing?
