I'm building a 600hp b series engine and wanted to know aside from the motor work and trans and all that what suspension parts should I replace with Oem or better aftermarket parts. I know you need reliable suspension parts to keep up with the power your car is going to make. So if anyone has any suggestions or experience I would gladly appreciate it thank you.

 

Is the car still on stock shocks and springs?

Step 1 is to make sure all the bushings, ball joints, tie rods, etc are in good shape.

 

No the car is on D2 suspension. And I'm ordering energy suspension bushing kit and replacing the ball joints and tie rods. There an ok shape but just for piece of mind I'll rather get all that new.

 

If everything is in good working order, the alignment is done correctly, and you don't feel the shocks are worn out, then you're probably fine as-is.

 

ok but for something producing that much power, I don't need a bigger sway bar, end links, stuff like that also traction bars?

 

You're putting 600hp thru a civic chassis. There aren't any "simple" mods you can do to make it totally stable.

Sway bars aren't active til you turn. They are anti-roll torsion springs. If you're going to track the car at a road course, you can dial in sway bars later and to your preference.

Traction bars can be a little dangerous if they break. And your car already has dual pivot front LCA's.
The only way you're going to get actual traction off the line is on slicks.

Maybe adjust the trans gearing or ECU program to help with that.

Brakes is another thing you'll want to address.

What are you using the car for?

 

Thank you, and yes brakes will be something I'll be putting on soon. I'm converting the rear brake drums to brake discs. Then I'm upgrading slotted disc rotors hawk brake pads and calipers don't know weather to stay with OEM calipers or another aftermarket brand. And I will be useing it for the drag strip. But also this will be my weekend rider. So the car will see the track probably twice a year and useing as a street car. That's why I'm not trying to build something crazy with a dog box trans and sleeved block. I'm not doing any of that I just want a fun fast car for street and once in awhile track.
