Default Suspension setups

where can i find information on good CRX suspension setups?

The Current Engine setup is this:

B18c5 turboed with JE Pistons (unsure on compression) Eagle Rods.
AEM EMS ECU
Stock Cams, less restrictive exhaust, stock exhaust and intake maniforlds
t3/4 turbo with Greddy intercooler.

I am not where the car is located so this is as much as i know. Where can i find information on good suspension setups for drag racing. We are willing to drop a good amount of cash to finish this car out, but no suspension means no power getting to the ground. By the time the car is done with a good tune itll be at over 300hp. With a stripped interior.

Hold up ,,you have stock exhaust manifold but have a t3/t4 turbo?

But for suspension look into some good traction bar setups..They really do help with wheel hop..

To add unknown comp ratio??

Buddy of mine was using 92-95 skunk2 drag springs with luck. Full Race Jim -Fab etc X members as Mr.Speaker already listed will help a ton.

A setup like this will love slicks depending on your power 22" or 24"s Most everyone who ran 20s feels let down from what i've seen/read.

Yeah thats really not good especially when boosted..For all you know you could have a 13.5:1 compression ratio..Sometimes a compression test could give you a general idea of the compression ratio..

Im the one who deosnt know because im thousands of miles away for school but my dad definately knows, im not worried about the power its more about putting it to the floor. I can tell you the comp. ratios tomorrow and when the car actually goes to the track it will have a JUN exhaust manifold and the intake manifold will be replaced as well, the stock parts are Type R though.

Oh..You know you'll need a turbo manifold with a t3 flange to work the t3/t4 turbo? The JUN header wont work with turbo..I mean technically you can do one of those setups with the turbo after the header somewhere but it doesnt sound like thats what you're doing..Or does JUN make a turbo manifold and Im wrong..?

Would it be better for my suspension or worse if I fit an aftermarket traction bar on a CR-X that I wish to autocross/motokhana at a later date?
