IMO if you want to win meets with a civic then buy some racing tires and a different set of rims and run H stock.
However, I am a Hypocrite and run STS LOL.
Everyones preferences are a bit different on equiptment, I have:
tien Basic dampers
neuspeed front strut bar
H&R 20mm rear sway bar
spc rear camber
eibach front camber
215/40/17 yokahama ES 100s
alignment -.5 rear and -1.5 front
If I were to change anything I would get the tien ss so I can adjust the shocks, and I would get Falken azenis becuase it seems like they are as close to a race tire (without being one) as you can buy. I am also changing the alignment so it is closer to boilermakers.
The biggest things are the alignment, tire pressure, and just plain driver skill. You can go to belle tire for the alignment and take a good digital pressure gauge to mess with pressure. But it takes practice and natural talent to have driver skill.

Autocross, its probably fine.
A road track... get a tranny cooler. You're gonna need it.
Why do i see all the scoobys, evos, bmw, they are all running with 17" wheels, alot of them volk to, lol. But why 17"?
Because you can get wide sticky tires that fit on 17" rims. 235s, 255s, etc...
You can't run anything smaller than 17 on an Evo, there's no real good 16" street tire that fits a WRX and most BMWs these days are coming with 17's or bigger. You'll still see e30s running 15" wheels (and some 16s and some 14s).
Autocross: Because Life is more fun on three wheels......
"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

Chris- thanks a lot for the advice. Sorry it took so long to respond, but my gf just got back from a three week trip to Europe so I havent had any time to get online. Honestly, I dont really know a lot about suspension dynamics and that is the main reason I started this thread. I wanted to start a discussion on the kind of setups that work the best for our car. On that note, despite all my reading I am still pretty clueless about camber adjustments and would love to have your help adjusting my camber. Will you be at the DIA event this coming weekend?
