Default 400hp street car, how to keep it down.

To the point, im building a 400+ whp del sol and need to keep that on the ground. i know the 350 street rule, but right now i couldn't keep 250 down.

I have been looking at the tein ss and flex. i think ss wont handle it, but how about the flex's, or any other setup for that matter. I have also seen these skunk2/Tokico Adjustable Illuminas

I do have a skunk2 camber kit up front and crappy areospeed coil overs all around. Those already have a date with the trash can.

It will be primaraly a street car but not a daily driver. The racing will be street drag style most likely.

Thanks in advance

Tein RA or N1, if there's going to be 400 hp then no use in trying to be civil. Also get a good lip spoiler and a splitter. And get some wider wheels and some very sticky rubber.

"Also get a good lip spoiler and a splitter. And get some wider wheels and some very sticky rubber."
Also make sure the spoiler and splitter is carbon fiber of it won't work. Oh yeah not like it will work anyways. Maybe above 120mph. I think your best bet is some traction bars and the biggest tires you can fit under the can. Jinx posted a pic of MT new drag radial that would work pretty well.

I know MotorMatrix runs 255 wide BFG tires which obviously is extreme. What is the widest tire/wheel you can fit on an Integra/Civic without problems? TireRack says some 7.5" wide wheels are compatible.
