suspension help
Hey guys. I have a 98 civic and am looking to do an almost complete suspension overhaul. i want to get new lowering shocks and springs that can handle autocross. I am also looking to put in strut sway antiroll and a tiedown bar. I am new to the aftermarket world and need some help. any and all suggestions are welcome. thx

Re: suspension help
For competition, Go Koni or Bilstine for dampers & Ground controls for springs. For general street use & bling... Close your eyes and point at a random pile of pre-built coilovers.
as far as anti-roll bars you are going to find, after you start competing, that a big fat front bar isn't helping you, and that you just need a larger rear bar. aim for a 22mm on the rear for now.
Really though, if you want to get in to competition with the car, I would highly recommend holding off on any major tuneups until after you start racing. Unless you are replacing broken parts.
