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.

only ricers run STS cars in STX for the competition

 

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.....

 

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!

 

cold, man, cold

 

nice nate

what kind of tires? alignment settings?

 

alignment, that's what i forgot!

front camber -2.5
front toe 3/16th out total

rear camber -.7
rear toe 0

ride height about 4.5-4.75" measured to the jack tabs

 

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?

<----wishes he had a real STS car

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.
