Tokico 5-ways with Skunk 2 coilovers!!!!!!, best bang for the buck. Traction bars help also but depending on your power output you may not need one. If your running all motor you can usually get away with out using the traction bars. I eliminated wheel hop completly in my '88 CRX Si with the D16a6 and I/H/E, it was not as quick as my B16 powered CRX and since I have not gotten 5-ways up front yet (only have blues on Skunks right now) I am not sure if that will be all I need. I will know in a few weeks though.

if its lowered i would start with a camber kit instead of throwing that much money on a full race trac bar setup...

if that dont help than pollyurethane inserts...

than go the full race trac bar setup

sounds like a nice setup... get it aligned again it can get nocked out from time to time... but full race trac bars are completley worth it with a setup like that imo

squirt some GE black silicone II caulk into the motor mounts, then clean up the mess with an ice cube. It works wonders for $6.
