Hey guys I am new to racing but not new to automotive. I have a 92 Honda prelude with some mods under the hood, but most of all I need help on what to do with the suspension. It is not an everyday but I want to keep it close to a everyday driver.
I would like to stiffen the car with a roll cage (Bolt in), I have coil over set-up (original springs cut from top put on coil over hardware and Tokiko 5 ways) and it seem to work great for everyday driving feels good.
I thinking sway bar good size for the rear so I can create a little oversteer.
Need advise for sticky street tire. for 15in wheels.
What should I look out for when Playing with the suspension of the vehicle?
Get Technical, I have A BS in automotive technology and an AS in Auto Collision. It is much better to learn what not to do with your car from someone rather waste money on trial and era.

I would recommend against the roll bar. ONe you will loose the back seats and you are worried about it being daily driver, and two it's a little overkill for autocross (weight).

You can create rotation/oversteer by biasing pressures front and rear.

Hey that is a really good artical for a newbie. I appreciate that info.
I do have a question. What class would my car be in considering I totaly changed everything? And could you give me an area to start on my vehicle, basically what I should change considering I have screwed with it so much?

Well "mods under the hood" doesn't really tell me alot :)
And that write up wasn't meant for the newbie in mind. I wrote it because most websites use too much to describe for a novice :)
