1. the conti extreme contact sports which came out this past year, are better than the old michelin pss by far. you would need to compare the conti ecs to the new michelin ps4s but they dont come in smaller sizes. i've tested the conti ecs on a 550hp rwd car at autocross in near freezing temps in the rain, they're magical.
2. ebc greens dust heavily and wear quickly, but they are inexpensive. i've driven on hawk dtc30,60, blues, blacks, hps, hp+ , ebc green yellow red, porterfield r4s, gloc r6, r8, r10, carbotech bobcats, ax6, xp10, xp12, a bunch of wilwood compounds
4. dunno why you think im saying to run more negative rear, you should run more negative front camber
5. the si spring is no lower than the non si rear spring it does however have a higher spring rate to bring the rear spring frequency up. if you havent driven a fwd car with a lot of rear frequency, then you should try it before you comment on it.
Questions for 4 you mean I should have a stiller rear bar than front bar? And 5 what does having a higher rear spring frequency do exactly?

yes you should still run a stiffer rear bar typically on a fwd setup, of course you can go too big and lift off oversteer in emergency situations will often result in a spin. in a performance driving situation, track/autox/ this isnt a concern.

The front and rear will bounce at different frequencies. The reason the front and rear have different ride frequencies is to reduce the pitch of the vehicle over bumps. With the rear freq higher than the front, so that after hitting a bump, the rear will “catch up” with the front, and the front and rear will move together. This also means in roll the rear moves much quicker than the roll in front, in combination with the large bar, reducing understeer.

if you look at the base civic, vs touring, vs si, you can see how honda is tuning their suspension. They're adding front spring and bar for response and roll resistance due to lack of camber, and upping rear spring frequency and rear roll resistance by a lot. Of course being an oem setup, it will still push for safety reasons. Adding a larger civic r rear bar will increase rear roll resistance reducing understeer, but at risk of spinning in lift off situations.

Thanks for the explanation, even if it still went over my head a little haha
