Try posting in the drag racing section, very little of us actually race Accords. Its a lot of comment tech issues and newbies. I personally race auto-x (at least I will be after my winter rebuild), which will have a stiff suspension.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Civic springs are a bit smaller and not compatible. I heard of people putting Accord spring on Civics, but never the other way around. Aren't 5th gen Accord and 5th gen Prelude suspensions interchangeable?

If you are having a squat issue, it would be even worse with springs form a lighter Civic.

Do you have video of your launches?

It appears the car is already lowered, what springs/shocks are you currently using? Looks like the rear is already pretty slammed.
Resolution on the camera is a bit low, but it seems that the rear doesn't move much but the front end does rise a bit..
