- Drop it! Either springs or coilovers, + camber kit. With only $600, I don't think you can afford struts yet though... get a strut bar too

Well. Civics are just slow. Period. : )

But anyway. If you want to spend $600 get KONIS. Makes the car 100 times more fun to drive. Best mod I've done along with neuspeed sports and 18" Yokohama Parada 2 rubber.

But I'm a track junky. I'll pay $300 to eliminate a milimeter of body roll. I guess it's personal preference really. Good luck with your decision.

I'd think an LSD for a car with such little torque would be pretty much irrelevant. I could be wrong though I've never driven a weak car with an LSD so I wouldn't know how much of a difference it makes. I think sometimes people want to install mods like the LSD because it's "cool".

are their any good body kits for 600 or is that just not enough. i dont really care to much for handling and all, i think lowering it would be ok but would look stupid with the hubs.

I don't think any kit is that cheap. You might find some on ebay though, but they won't be painted of course. For like $275 more you can get the OEM kit already painted.

That's what I would do also. I want the new infinity kappa speakers. But since I just spent 500 on my Greddy I won't be getting speakers anytime soon.

OEM Kit?? IMO it really brings out the appearance of the car without overdoing it.

I like the idea of a torque converter.
