You should get a drop first haha. Looks dumb to have rims but no drop imo, giant wheel gap.

$1200 won't buy you anything that will give a significant amount of speed, outside of nitrous oxide. And who says a car that handles well (ie suspension and chassis upgrades) didn't receive a PERFORMANCE upgrade? If I were you (and I'm well aware that I'm not), I would use the money on a good set of coilovers and strut bars, with any leftover cash going to a rear sway bar and a front underbrace from Neuspeed or Tanabe.

Fast isn't just in a straight line.

If you want to use it on performance trade in your car and use the 1200 as a downpayment.

Save it till u can get a K series swap. You dont have to drop it yet b/c civic stock struts suck they leak on a stock car that have not been driven hard. But if u do drop it get new struts while ur at it.
