I got my 02 civic six pretty much all stock and I was wondering if it was worth investing in a new suspension for the car...
What is the average price for a new suspension...
Advice is greatly appreciated

Si? Are you planning on modding it? There's nothing wrong with stock if stock is what you want.

How does it run? What kind of shape is it in? Are you planning on selling it? You won't really profit from any sort of mod, so it's more a matter of whether you will enjoy your car more with the modifications or not, and if their cost is worth it to you.

Depends on how much you're willing to spend and how in-depth you're willing to go. You can spend a few hundred on some lowering springs and shocks/struts, or you can go a few thousand for coilovers, camber kits, rims, tires, sway and tie bars and the works.

Just search around the forums here for ideas.

It's not an si it's a dx, four door. It's my first car but in excellent shape, I will probably keep it for 5 years or so, and I am looking to mod it just nothing too crazy.

Oh, ok. If you don't want to put too much money into it, the shocks/springs wil probably serve you well. Once again, check around here for ideas.
A word of caution: once you start modding, it can get VERY addicting.

get a 19mm rear sway bar off a RSX, slap it in and then come back here smiling. get all the hardware to install it. not sure if the DX had a rear sway bar, so might need a Progress kit to link it to the rear control arms.

According to the e-store here it should come with a bar already (part 4). Maybe it is the older DX models that lack one.

Rear sway is a great upgrade. Especially if you don't have one.

my 04 vp did not come with front or rear sway bars. if your a spirited driver then yes suspension is a good investment.

Start with the sway bar, like said previously the 19mm rsx type s rear sway bar is a fantastic improvement over the stock 15mm. I got mine off eBay for $45 and installation was a breeze...after I took it back off to put it on the correct way. I squeal wheels around corners now just because I don't feel as though I'll tip over. If it's in the funds a set of tokico blues with Tein s tech lowering springs would be a nice upgrade as well. Also said previously stated moding is addicting so have a clear idea of what you want before you start. If you just want a smoother ride, the sway bar alone may due, if you want lower, your looking at springs and struts or coilovers. It's all up to you obviously, but it's an expensive habit. Even when shopping for good deals.

you could buy a used suspension for much less of ebay if you want. It's a much cheaper alternative

ctr suspension only requires light modding to fit in the em2. I did it with a dc5 type r suspension in my old em2.

the 2002 uses the 14mm knuckle crash bolts, so he will need to drill it large for the 16mm for 03+ or RSX suspension
