I'm new to modifying cars. I'm starting to work on my Honda and I don't know where to start. What might be the first thing for my 09 Civic LX?

What are you into?

Engine performance, handling, stance, show, audio?

I would lower it and get a nice set of wheels and summer tires.

I'm looking to work on performance first. Besides a cold air intake kit, what might be another mod to go with it as well?

Haha, is that a jacked up 600?

Intake, headers, exhaust. Then stage 1 Cam, and Hondata. If you want lots of power you will need to go turbo.

Alright, which brand would you recommend?

In all honesty... I got the most joy out of bolting on suspension parts. Beefier rear anti-sway bar and short shifter + linkage were my proudest moments.

Both tasks could be done with basic tools and knowledge. Remember safety first!

Civic's are not fast cars but they handle well so they respond to suspension mods the best.

Stick with brands like:

Vibrant
DC Sports
Magnaflow
AEM
Injen
Buddy Club
Crower
PWJDM

Cheaper Options:
OBX
Megan

Suspension:

Tein
Eibach
Progress
KW
Koni
Tokico
Ground Control
Energy Suspension
Moog
