Get the Ingalls camber kit. Check out the review in the reviews section to see why. Greddy Evo is too huge and hangs too low IMO. Magnaflow looks too domestic, but the price and performance is right. I say go for the Skunk2 exhaust system. Ooh mama! 215/40/R17? I'de go for 215/45/R17, but that might just be me. Konig Toxxin's are too played out, but they're too played out last last season. Get the blatants if you're into Konig. Eibach Sportlines are top notch, but if you want adjustment go for Ground Control coilovers. Koni shocks are top notch and nobody has complained much about them. Although the adjustment in back is kinda hard to get to unless you nend this one piece of metal (Eek!). Neuspeed strut bar is okay, although I bought a DC Sports strut bar because someone who had both said the DC Sports actually worked better (Go figure!). Injen CAI is great and probably outperforms AEM's CAI.

Grey, I have drums in the rear and no ABS..so I go cheaper..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Only complaint I found on the Eibach kit was for those with ABS..As for strut bars "working" better..Hmmm..I can understand a $30 Vibrant strut bar having alottle flex but otherwise..beh.. I haven't seen the EVO on a sedan yet.. anyone have a pic of it on a sedan?...

And Summer car project[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. that's one long afternoons work [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. But one big dent in my credit cards he he...thanks for all the help..I'll definately look into more exhausts..

For the Toxxins.. played out where yer at..I haven't seen them once around here.. I see alot of MOMO's and FAST Wheels rims..that's about it....I'm gettin the toxxins cause of the deal I have on em..I'm still looking for other similar styled rims.. I have a sedan so some rims just don't click with it...

I thought about that ABS thing and I don't have ABS either, but I probably will sell the car on down the road, so I'll want a camber kit that works well with all models. I'll have a larger pool of people to sell my parts to. Then again, I might end up buying the last year of the 7th gen civic coupe in the future and just transfer all of my mods to it.

That could work.. I was debating modding my sedan.. or buying an 89 CRX and dropping a b18c5 my friend has handy into it and have one speedmobile and one soundmobile.. then I remembered I'm 21 and allready paying over $2g's a year insurance..and a CX is considered a sports car he he.. 2 years down I'm definately hitting some serious engine work..maybe a Turbo.. and I found a turboe'd 7th gen civic here in Montreal.. I'm trying to track the guy down but an engine shop charged the dude $27000 dollars CAD for the whole thing because it requires a fuel management system. New ECU, removed sensors...boost sensor, new fuel system entirely. shop may new rods and fitted some low compression pistons..got a 240HP civic running 11lbs of boost...

why the RSX Rear Sway bar conversion? Why not wait for a rear sway bar to come out, i had my friend look into that for me, and he said that Suspension Techniques(the bomb shizat of sway bars!!!) is in the process of makin some for our cars. Thats what i am going to do, and would recomend to do if you really want to be flat around those hair-pin turns. Other than that, good ideas!!

Hey,

I rate it a 7.2.

Personally, I would get the Intake, Rims/Tires and put the rest into the body kit.

To me, there are only 3 big investments into our car.

Rims/Tires estimate over 1g.
Audio - est. over 1g, in your case over 6gs!!!!
Body Kit - est. over 1g, which includes painting.

I don't consider the I/H/E a big investment because, around spending 1g, your gains are minimal, while the rims/tires and body kit make you stand out more.

RSX conversion or the JDM sway bar (22mm) for the RSX is cheaper than aftermarket and you know it'll fit.

mohawkboom: That's insane. 240 horsies! Are you sure? Track that dude down and get him to log in to this site. I would love to know where they got low compression pistons too... Did they mill down the stock ones or what?

No Body kits for me bro...I live in Montreal..ever seen the roads..even a 1" Drop makes it hard to clear some curbes..a body would get ripped off too quick..

dont get the kuhmo tires, they are good during the first 10000 mi then the cheapest begins to show through and they deteriorate really fast!!

GET Pirelli P7000's, they arent all that much more expensive and will give you better performance and a better ride.
