paypal is good, i think it's the (easiest) best thing to buy anything online, it's secure if you're smart about it

never done a COD before...

if you're referring to that brown piece on the spring, that's an isolator sleeve

Humm rather asking for advice which is leading to no answer you should do some researching instead. If you tried searching and couldn't find the answer to your question then posting up a question is okay. Theres a FAQ in under suspension forum, you should take a look at it. You don't necessary have to replace your shocks when you install lowering spring but stock shocks will eventually blow/leak caused by the stress from stiffend springs.

Suspension. Maybe a port and polish, but members here have had mixed results with P&P. I guess it matters who does the work. Don't buy that Venom chip. It doesn't do anything. Waste of money.

My rims are ready to go!! I get them installed in an hour.


And to whoever said something about the coupe thing, I sat in one. I'm 6"3 and about 250, my legs were cramped up sitting in the coupe. Besides, all the hot cars right now, ex. the Evo, the WRX, they're sedans. I love my sedan.

hey man, if you're looking for cheap parts, cruise the forsale forum here and ebay. you'll see whats out there and get a range for cost. downside is though, everything is done over the computer. going to shops and ordering face to face usually jacks costs up >50% from what you could pay online!

venom is here for 299. http://store.summitracing.com/
just search Venom.

I am with some of the other guys here. Suspension & handling!! It amazed me how different the car felt after changing the suspension. Huge difference in the way the car handled.

suspension - for cheap and reliable, tokicos and goldlines or some good spring

sell your intake and get a turbo kit.

Build your motor

Have fun

Or swap for a good motor, and boost that one.

What your doing is pointless right now. You probably havent gained much if anything

haha, good luck

Suspension and perhaps some headers. Also try reducing the weight of the rotating parts.

Rims with tires are $400 and shipping. If we can meet half way(I'd drive about 150 miles instead of shipping them, save us both the hassle), we'll do that.

If you look for my other posts, you can see a pic of them. They're the upgraded 15" rims with the Honda logo.
