I probably wouldn't waste the money a set of springs and Konis. I'd get a set of Teins or something.

Also, I'd get different wheels. I'd get the Volk Racing GT-Ns in 18x7.5. Color would depend on the color of the car.

I also wouldn't spend that much on a race header. Probably get the DC Sports one. I've heard good things about it.

Other than that, I'd probably keep everything like it is.

well i had a set of skunk2 coilovers on my oil honda and they suck. bounce way too much. so i got springs for my 04 civic and i love them. i do not bounce like a mexican bean, and my struts are fine.

rims well like i said idk about the ones i picked, i like them but i was thinking something small, i like the race look. maybe a set of 16's

there was a recall on the teins for the rsx... also, rsx struts are not a direct bolt-on... they require some minor work. Due to stock shocks being ghey.

Id take a evo any day over a 350z. to geta 350z close to the Evo you have to spend 6k on a turbo kit. F*** that. now thats a waste.

8g's on a EVo your doing 10's all day. my boy has one and has full 3 inch helix exhuast, no cat or res. intake. reflash. small battery, new IC piping. A huge IC. MR BOV. and he beats Zo6's. camaros, SC stangs, etc, all day. Has had it since november and is running like a champ. 2 days ago he ordered a bigger turbo. and is going to be running 28-30lbs. and achol. injection soon.

And yeah maybe if you treat it like a ***** then youll be spending 8k to fix.
