thousand pound springs and energy suspension motor mount inserts are a good start.

He said he has Place Racing motor mounts, which are much better than ES polyurethane inserts. I've heard of the traction bars but don't know how well they work. I have also seen in rare instances the PR mounts break, check them to make sure they are not broken.

the "competition engineering" tractions bars are easier to use and install..you have more options and its all together a better setup...you can find them online or at your local shop or even look in the summit racing catalog..

With the z10 radius arm bars does it effect any part of the suspension. I would like to both drag race and track race my civic. Would the z10 bars hinder me on the track in some way?

With the Z-10 kit, you can turn the wheels without any problems. That CANNOT be said for the Comp. Engineering set-up. Their front pivot points are too far outward and hit the tires/wheel if you turn them too far(this is why they sell steering stops as a supplement).
I hae the Z-10 kit , and a full set of ES motor mount inserts, with a built b20vtec and have NO wheel hop. I also run 205/40 17" BFG drag radials in the front.
