we have never built a car for road racing and now we have a 95 Civ Hatch which the customer wants to solo. what swaybars and tires would you suggest? price really isn't an issue, just want the best set-up for street and occational solo. little background, customer is 50yrs old and has many high end sports cars in his lineup. we already have Tein super street coilovers w/in-car adjustablilty, camber kits front & rear. i hear of people putting stock si front sway bar with upgraded rear.??

car has a fully built 275whp k24, so also keep that in mind if there is something special these swaps require.

thanks for your suggestions.

 

"In my opinion"
the best is to run the car with no modifications. the driver needs to build up his ability to drive the car,not have the car drive him. that is what solo autocross is based apon.you dont want to change the car so much that in a way wasnt the best idea to begin with. but if i was in your shoes, ide ditch the super streets for a PIC setup atleast. front swaybar atleast a stock integra bar. and a rear type-r bar with a beaks kit or asr brace(for tear out purposes).some dont run front bars for under reasons and just run a bigger rear bar. for tires as i said the best way is to keep it stock. but your building a car for a customer, then a set of falken azenis are good enough tires to use. theres not a need to upgrade to a r-compound. just keep it simple. less is better. good brake pads to handle that 275whp,good fluid,and decent tires(azenis) are the bare basics needed.. thats just my opinion on how i started and later did my upgrades where i saw they were needed. good luck.

Also for rear bars i'm very happy with my Progress suspension rear sway bar.

For tires, Falken Azenis work very well for autocross and street and are lower on price. And perform almost as well as tires much more expensive.

And if you give up, i'll take that k24 off your hands.
