start by removing that pinstripe and mud flaps.Then paint those drums black.A decent drop and maybe some tint would make you car look awesome. But that's just what I would do.

Yea the pin stripe will be off soon. Windows already tinted, I'm going with a rear disc convertion. Just trying to find out from which car without change my lug pattern. What would be better coilovers or lowering springs?

https://www.civicforums.com/forums/4...elled-out.html - everything you will need to know about rear disc conv. And it depends on what kinda of drop you want and how much money you have. I am just looking for a slight drop mostly for looks. I am just getting Tein S-Tech springs that lower the car 1.3''front and 1.4'' rear and matching them with Tokico Blues. But if you have the money then I would say get some Tein coilovers. From what I hear Tein is best for ride comfort and IMO that is very important. I don't want to feel every crack on the road and I dont want to be bouncing all over either. Thats my two cents

Thanks for the help man. especially with the drums to discs spelled out. As far as lowering it I may go with what your doing with your car. I just don't wanna ride like my car is hittin speed bumps and people thinking i'm flashin them with my lights. I thank you for your input.

Yea no prob. www.Dezod.com is a great place to get stuff for our cars. I also am a big fan of eBay, that's where I'm ordering most of my stuff. You just have to know exactly what your getting and from a reputable seller. Any question you have pretty much has been answered if you type it in the search box. Keep us posted on how everything works out!
