Well first off... you got a pic of it?
If it attaches to the suspension like I think it would, then no, it's not gonna fit. The suspensions are totally different.
Get a strut bar.. it helps help a lot... Mugen has a set of struts with re-located steering points to help it, but no one on here has them (actually I've never seen anyone on any board with them), and I would think the X-brace or a lower front tie bar should help too.
Oh... and if you're rolling on stock tires... lose em. That's the fastest way to get rid of it.

Rep Power: 0 The problem is that when the car is under acc. the motor moves too much. But we haven't had any luck finding new motor mounts. We did find a part for our 240 that looks like a shock that mounts on the motor and the top of the strut mount. I'm going to see if I can adapt it to my civic. I guess I will have to have custom mounts made

another part of your problem is this. Low profile tires. they suck, and I mean SUCK for drag launching. you want a relitivly tall tire with soft side walls for drag race. what you have is better suted for a Road coures or autocross (Though 18" are way to big and heavy for either).

Rep Power: 0 also, try lowering the tire pressure a bit... it should help a bit... make sure you raise it back up though for daily driving cuz if you drive around with low pressure and hit a pothole you might bend your rim...
