screw that. full coil over drop! spend it all right now.

actually rims and tires are good.. but a 17 inch on a stock civic suspension looks funky. even when u got low profile tires.

slicksivik will become famous soon enough

i'd say rims, cuz once i put rims on, it made it look so much better, even tho i had an exhaust already on. if u go rims, better drop it also, if no drop, get 215/45 like me, looks decent cuz the wheels fill the tire barrel up quite well

Either get the Tein SS suspension, or if you're willing to throw some of your own cash in, get rims & tires. Don't bother with exhaust or any of that crap right now.

don't get 18's, use your money wisely. And get a nice set of 17's with some nitto's and get some eibach springs. Rims are the biggest exterior mod you can do.
