HELP??help needed with my suspension and Braking

[alpaccino]

good day I have every thing stock in my car. I just installed a B5 engine, now the car is bouncing all over the place. I NEED HELP PLEASEE.
what type of lowering spring can work with my shocks or should i change the whole thing, or should i use cut spring (i HATE the idea) also i want to use strut brace at the front and back any suggestions.

To stop the car i have to be using my gearbox first then brakes, i was told that the demio brakes could work, CAN IT?
I would love if i could get a bigger disc router at the front and possibly if possibly at the back PLEASE don't just read the tread tell me any thing thanks in advance.

i did a check and i was impressed but i may not have the necessary cash to do that set up. i was told that honda integra springs could work, by cutting off four coils from the rear shocks and that would make it stiff enough and give it the right height, have you ever hear of this??

Swap to the aspire brakes. I'm sure you have Aspire's or something of another name on your island. That will take care of your braking problem.

Get a set of KYBGR2 strust and order some springs from festiva motorsports to solve the suspension problem.

Just what I listed above. Both my Festivas are set up that way. The only difference in the 2 are the tire size.
