Setting up suspension for the street
Starting to think serious about getting this car to hook high power on the street. I know it can, and I've seen it done a few times. I want to be that Honda that actually puts the power down without putting a ridiculous tire like an M&H 26" on it. I've thought about a 4.05 final but that's a different discussion.
Looking at Progress drag street/drag coil overs. Right now I am on Eibach pro kit springs and bilstein shocks. Car is just soft and squats to hard.
What are you guys doing for alignment settings up front?
The car is currently on 225/45/16 R888s and it does decent, but I want to hook full power in 3rd as well as 4th. I know it can do better with the right suspension. Its got full race bars and I plan on getting some good mounts (just have torque inserts now). I will get it corner balanced when I figure it all out as well.

Do you have a aftermarket suspension bushings? I would say that is just as good of an investment to putting power down as bars. I'm interested to see what others say as far as coil over setups.
Bars are pulling
You would like my OmniPower coilover setup for the street. Its 10k front and 12k rear.
-Pulling your caster forward as much as possible with the trac bars, without F***ing stuff up will help too.
-Slightly negative camber in the front will help keep a full contact patch on the ground when your front suspension unloads (when the car raises)
-The "toe'd in" side of spec will help keep the car tracking in a straight line at speeds.
