yah, ive never setup a car for serious drag racing other than my RC car. lol

understeer is your friend when you want to go fast just straight.
so, wat i'd do is:

1) get oversized front swaybar.

2) use maybe 250lbs/in front springs and adjustable dampers in pretty stiff but not too stiff setting. you dont want wheel hop.

3) use ~400lbs/in rear springs and stiff setting. no rear swaybar cause you dont want the rear to rotate while you're doing. keep the rear ride height high, even use a wheelie bar to keep the
front down on the tarmac.

i donno... i think you can do it. im sure other will now
chime in.

Civics have been drag racing for years. I'd research the set ups of those to use as a starting point.
