Rep Power: 0 05 civic Ex es2 upgrade thread
Hello! I currently have a 2005 EX SEDAN I'm trying to figure out how to upgrade as a quick daily
it's 100% stock except for the headlights and audio system I did haha
I've never built a car so I'm at a loss after searching for months. So here it is
What would I upgrade first and what parts are compatible with what??? I was hoping to do suspension first and have read that sway bars are a good mod but I'm trying to run a whole suspension upgrade, then swap for another stock d17a2 and light turbo that.
what do I do first? Please help! Thanks!

That really depends on what you're trying to get out of the car. What are your goals for power and handling?

1.) Sticky tires. Get a set of summer tires on a nice light wheel.
2.) Drop it!! Skip springs and go to coil overs.
3.) Rear sway to help it be more neutral.
4.) Poly bushings.
5.) Exhaust cause it has to sound decent. HKS is what I like, see signature.
