Turbo or Bags? Hello 
. Well this is my first post so please be kind. See i have a 2001 honda civic lx. its a 4 doors + it is an automatic. i haven't done much to it, but i recently got this front bumper and now i am getting the rest of the kit, the only problem is that it is too low 
i was thinking of putting an air suspention but i just got an offer for a T3 turbo. Both are about the same price and now i don't know which one should i get. 
if you can please give me some advices i would appretiate it.thanx.

turbo.
air-bag is all show. a fast car is still a nice car. if ur having problems with the kit and lowering, adjustable springs (aka coilovers) or full coilovers can simply solve that problem.
check out the suspension faqs here http://www.7thgencivic.com/modules.p...Suspension+FAQ
if u go with airbags (hope u dont..) check that out here http://www.7thgencivic.com/modules.p...Suspension+FAQ

if you want to listen to the crowd, go turbo.
otherwise, do what you really want. see if you want to race or show off, and if you want to deal with the trouble of owning a turbocharged engine, or the trouble of owning air suspension.

Rep Power: 0 The problem is when ya have turbo in ya engine the civic is like almost undrivable. Use the Boeing setup, it'll put out about 4000 hp on just a single tank of methane! It rocks! The integrated flange plate will accomadate the turbo, and has reasonable gains! Hehe, now where did I put that smiley...?
