Default Evaluate my chassis / suspension setup...

Anything else you guys can think of for this drag car's chassis/suspension?

94 Civic DX hatch w/ H22
All Motor

Chassis:
Completely gutted as far as I can & want to go
Sound deadening material removed
Lexan windows (keeping stock windshield)
Fiberglass hatch
Fiberglass dash
Summit racing seat
Passanger door gutted
Fiberglass 1pc front end (front metal cut away for it also)
All excess interior metal removed and cut away
No wiring from the dash back
Metal in the rear that went over the gas tank & spare tire area cut out and re-covered with AL sheeting so it is one smooth area
Rear bumper cut and holes drilled for maximum air flow
1 gal. fuel cell
Oddessy battery

Suspension:
Neuspeed Race springs 400lb (front)
Ground Control 900lb coilovers (rear)
Tokico Illumina 5 way adj. shocks (rear)
MB Products traction bar
-0.5 Camber & 1/8” Toe
Powerslot rotors (front)
AEM pads (front)
Stock rear brakes

I want to keep the doors stock for now. The passanger one is just the outer shell. I will switch to fiberglass later on. I want to keep the factory lower control arms and such for right now also.

Anything I might be missing or you guys think would be a good idea?

Any feedback would be great. Like "looks good" or "you might try _" or whatever. Thanks.

Hey man it all sounds like a great way to start.


I posted a simmular post a few days ago with no feedback at all. Basically I was asking questions on how for I could go with the lightening of the car.

I would like to know if it is legal to cut the rear out where the fuel tank/spare tire well go. If you know that I will pass tech with sheet aluminum there.

PIctures would help.
