Rep Power: 340 I'm not good with audio, so I can't help you there. But....
Some springs might be nice. I just bought some Eibach Pro-Kit springs from North American Motorsports. Maybe a short shifter, too, if you car is manual.

Agreed. For sure don't buy bolt-ons for your D17 auto. That IS a waste of money. Best thing to do is save for a Swap for speed or real coilovers for drop. Springs will just end up blowing your struts in the long run so just save some time and money and get the good stuff now.

^^^^ trade ur car in for a 2002 manual then u dont have to the switch... then put ur rims back on and then DROP IT first (I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE THE RIMS) then do the K20 and then u can buy the AEM but AFTER u buy a turbo....
as long as ur rims are clean and ur car is clean, almost every civic looks good with a drop on it ;-)

Rep Power: 260 unless you already got a job lined up, maybe you should hold off on spending it...
Who knows how long you'll be unemployed in this market
(nothing personal; just a be-prepared-for-the-worst-case scenario type of idea)
