Is that a front or rear swaybar?

"A viable autocross car"... an Integra is that in stock form. The question is, do you have the experience to drive it fast?

I'm not being mean here, that's just the nature of autocross. You can throw parts at the car all day, but if you don't have the autox experience to drive the car, you won't be fast.

There's also a lot of setup and tuning involved. Just having hte parts doesn't mean you've set the car up correctly. There are more ways to set a car up WRONG than there are to set it up RIGHT!

You're better off to learn about setup and what setup is required to do what you want to do. By that, I mean alignment, spring rates, swaybar rates, suspension travel, things like that. What does the car NEED to handle well? THEN find the parts needed to deliver those specs and set the car up.

Again, not picking on you... just trying to help you avoid being another one of those kids who ends up saying "I've got this part, this part, this part, this part and that part... why doesn't my car handle?" You need to define the problems and solve them... not just throw money and parts at the car blindly.

Hint: "Too Low" and "Too Stiff" are very possible and are among the most common suspension problems.
