Type Respost.

To say the least, that's making a $23.7k car worth $29.2k that's still a low 15 second car. Everything's a prefabrication of the JDM DC5 Type R except the wing.

An RSX-S owner could do so much better with $4,500-$5,000, but if they were willing to buy an overpriced GS-R to start with... ha...

Yet another reason why I should've gotten the RSX. But still don't think it's worth it.

Yah, I saw the FP for our Civics... I saw it at the dealership and I thought it was niiiice! Didn't realize it was lowered though... is it? I really want to drop my car, but they (the dealership) said I couldn't do it... it would void warranty. But now that I know they have factory lowered springs, I'm gona go back and ask.

Honda and Factory Performance don't go in the same sentence. Except the s2000 and the Nsx.

i tend to agree... i mean, i'm not sure about the RSX, but nothing changes the performance of the Civic EX FP. maybe just the suspension cuz it's lowered a little (i think). but that's about it. the main change is the looks. but hey, knowing me... i'd probably go for the FP myself... hehe!

The FPP for the RSX and civic are the biggest rip off evAr. Mass produced pieces of plastic, some rims and shocks and they charge you 5 grand. Can we say assrape? You dont even get any extra horsie powhaz.

THIS is JDM rice at its worst.
