First, lose about 480HP. Anything more than 220 in a Civic, and you're going to have a hell of a time going around corners. And you're going to have a hell of a time keeping it running for a whole race. And you're going to be changing tires on every lap. 700HP would be more than useless in a road race.

If you're truly running 700, I'd like to know your setup and see dyno sheets. That's more than a lot of guys are running in the drag forum.

Hrm. Sounds like you *might* know what you're talking about then.

It's still more than useless for a road race. I think your best start would be to sell your turbo and retune your engine for N/A. Or, sell your turbo, get a smaller one, and shoot for about 250-260 HP max.

There is seriously a grip limit on these cars and cornering. There's no way you'll get enough tire patch on the front of these things to hold more than about 300 absolute tops and still go around corners without killing tires constantly.

Can't help you. I can recommend no suspension or braking for your car that is going to make it handle well as it currently sits.

As it is, it's going to snowplow into the first wall you goose the throttle around, and no amount of suspension is going to fix that.

Wow, troll much? You don't have a 700hp car, certainly not on pump gas. If you actually did have that, you sure as hell wouldn't be asking this question. My guess is that you're either being a stupid troll, or you're dreaming of building your car and achieving that kind of power. If the 2nd option is in fact the case, you'd be far better off just simply asking questions instead of lying. At least then someone might answer your questions seriously, as well as direct you to the correct subforums on here.
