Default Help Me With My Suspension setup

Ok I have a 98 4dr civic LX and it's gonna be a DD and some light auto-x/road race/spirited driving through canyons type stuff. I want the car to have a tight and nuetral feel to it while still comfortable for the ladies. But I'm still unsure what upgrades I should do and what springs to use ,my set up would consist of

Tokico Illuminas(already have)
H&R Sports or Progress sports
Si front swaybar and ITR rear swat bar
OMNI LCA
spoon strut towers front/rear
spoon lower tie bars

SO if y'all can give some input that would be GREAT

do you have a subframe brace for that itr sway? you might want to look into the comptech or asr...a lot cheaper than fixing a torn subframe...

I would only put H&R or Eibach springs on my car.

That ITR is a huge bar, and probably more than you'll ever need. It will probably also tear the subframe without something like the ASR or Comptech brace.

The other peices are just bling and won't really do anything for performance.

Thanks guys and I saw the thread on ASR brace w/ ITR rear sway bar and looks like I 'll be getting that, also do I need a front sway bar if so which one should I use.

With the HUGE si front sway bar(26mm), youre probably going to understeer like a pig. Its 38% stiffer than the usdm itr front.
