Do you have any other handling mods? Like rear ARB? ALK?
My old glanza was solid as a rock, way too hard for normal road use. But it was awsome on a track, the first thing i noticed in the civic was the body roll and it made it feel wooly but then I slowly realised that the civic wasnt actually rolling that much and a slightly more forgiving ride was what i needed.
As for performance, the civic is prob a touch slower but so much more fun to drive.
Major drawback... no LSD. You dont realise how much you rely on one with 200 ish bhp until you loose it
