Will my 4x4 ride height affect my times at all?
be sure to set your alignment right, you don't want to have pos. camber. you should be near 0 because your sport won't let you move much vertically, ideally you want your wheels to be at 0 at max accelleration so that max grip is provided. that's why some high horse guys use limit straps.
lowering it will give you some aerodynamic advantage, an example, my old d15 coupe picked up 5 miles top speed when 2 inches lowered

i know on the evo forums, they reccomend specific alignment specs for optimal performance. is there such a thing for hondas and drag racing? or do we just go by factory specs when aligning? also should the alignment be done with the slicks on and at race height?

do the alignment with the slicks on the car, and also somehow do the alignment, like mentioned above, when the car is at acceleration height. the way i did it was jacked up the car right in the center of the front however much i thought the car was lifting under acceleration, then did the alignment. i am using the omnipower drag kit, and i have the car set to the maximum height i could have.
also, a corner balance job does wonders. i only balance the front half. to me, the back half of a fwd car is just trailing

take a camera and let someone tape a run with the camera at the level of the top of the tires. then look at the video and measure the percentage of room between the top of the tire and fender in relation to the tire wich you know the diameter of. then jack up your car to that level and align

i think i read somewhere where people switch their sport front springs with the rear to make them stiffer... this true?
