ok looks like i'll be sticking with the sportlines

I think you'd be better off with G/C. Even sportlines don't really have the kind of spring rates you'll want for autox. I have 400lbs front and 400lbs rear, and its still acceptable on the street with 15s (I would even consider it an improvement over stock, but I'm wierd). I think CivicSiRacer has 400f/450r, same body type as yours, seems to work pretty well for him.

I just don't think a normal "lowering spring" will satisfy you if you plan on racing a lot.

not hard at all, takes 45 minutes tops, usually more like 25. You can also have your car professionally corner-weighted--ask CivicSiRacer about that.

Ground Controls are the sh1t. Go to truechoice They have all types of springs and dampers for most applications. From your weekend auto-x'er to full on race beast. Good people, very friendly and fast shipping. If you are in Columbus, OH you can get your car corner weighted there.

They can custom build you a suspension also. Your wallet is the only limitation to true choice:drool:
