Ad i considered changing rear springs and shocks one of the easiest things i've done on a honda suspension wise.

on a side note, i was looking for information on fwd wheelie bars. is it suggested that you use preload or not? i remember reading about a crx that had an actuiator attached to them. preload at the line, then say once in third gear he hit a button, up comes the wheelie bar which eliminates the drag at top speed. if you dont have an actuator, would it be best to use prelaod or just have the wheels touching at the line?

Pull the tranny, split the case, and weld the diff. Depending how far you want to go, pull the fuel tank, make or buy a fuel cell and put this under the hood. Air to water intercooler is a good way to go as well, can load the water chamber with ice or dry ice. Spray water/meth as well. I can't remember if you said traction bars, but those are a must. Anything you can remove to make it lighter is a good thing.
