Some people have asked, so here it is...
Setup is as follows:
Springs:
850 front/750 rear
Swaybars:
Stock 21mm front/JDM 23mm rear
Shocks:
Custom valved fronts, SPSS3 rears, fronts shortened 1"
Engine:
DC header, AEM CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, UR pulley, timing bumped a little, stock rebuild
Tires:
Falken Azenis RT-615's 205/50/15 shaved to 4/32's
Wheels:
SSR Competitions, 15x7.5 front, 15x7 rear
Brakes:
Carbotech Bobcats front, Axxis Ultimates rear (too much rear brake, need to fix this. probably try some panther+ fronts next)
A momo seat and a bunch of vinal rounds it out. Car has been working real good, drives nice, and is pretty damn quick. It currently weighs around 2130lbs with a stock passenger seat and some heavy *** driver's seat seat rails. The goal is to be under 2100lbs for nationals. I haven't dynoed the engine but it sure feels strong. I'd guess nearly 130whp untuned, but I might be way off on that. for reference, my old motor with 235k on it made 125whp untuned.

Are you sure you're ok with the fact that you will no longer be driving a trunk'd civic? 
Looking good Nate, good luck at Nationals.
Are you running the ProFinale? I'll be in Topeka for that.....

Re: (carl_aka_carlos)
no pro finale this year, just nationals. and yes, i'm just fine with the idea of driving a de-trunk'd civic.
at least it's not a miata!

Interesting, 100# more in the front? Did you get to that point on the first try, or found it to work better after swapping springs a few times?

i've tried more setups then i care to remember. i used to run 700lb front springs but with more swaybar. i kept running out of bump travel that way so i decided to go down on bar and up on spring. and like i said in other threads, within certain limits, spring bias has almost no effect on chassis balance.
