G Force
You guys know how when they test a car for it's turning ability they see how many G's it will pull, sustained, on a skip pad? Well I was wondering appoximately how much of a difference the results of this test would be with a modified suspension, (specifically H&R Race Springs 2" drop and KYB Adjustables) and a performance oriented set of tires? Just curious if anyone has tested this or if there are any physics masters that could approximate the difference.
P.S. The stock rating for my Integra is somewhere around .84G.

I've always wondered the same, but I'm pretty damn sure my Civic will pull AT LEAST 0.1g better than it does stock. Maybe I can pull a high 80's or even a 90?

 But yes it's hard to approximate. It all depends on camber, alignment, and other factors. Like what tires? How stiff the springs and shocks are....

Um, I doubt that SiRacer, I think what Silver was saying was that with the upgrades he's made his car pulls about 0.1g's better than stock.
Like if it pulls 0.75g's stock then now it pulls about 0.85g's. I doubt basic modification and even preformance street tires will put a civic at over a full G on the skidpad, possibly close, but I don't really see it breaking 1 G.
