1. A cold-air intake that isn't K&N.
2. Lightweight Pulleys
3. ECU Chip
4. K20 Turbo
5. Greddy Blow-Off Valve
6. Tien Coilovers
7. Project U Brakes
8. Spark Plug Wires

The K&N does the job.

If you haven't already, i would say lowering it. preferbly coilovers because of its adjustability. suspension work on those cars are the best modifications you can do to them imo.

is it by any chance the b16 civic Si?

yes moarlowz plox

also, airducts actually make a difference, make sure to channel air as much as possible to that cai

a grounding kit might also be a good idea, its suppose to help get the most constant optimal spark possible, someone correct me if im wrong..

Eibach is okay, you definetly want Tein or Bilstein though. Spark plug wires, I would say AEM or even JDM...

Depends on what you actually want to do with your car.. if you want to track the car, i would say skunk2 Pro-c's or a set of Apexi's
your car should ride likes on rails from experience.

Progress cs2 coilovers are nice aswell.

but if you want to get the car low and forget about it, just get a simple spring and shock combo.. instead of the above which have dampening, camber, rebound adjustability..

spark plug wires, i totally believe its just for aesthetics.. unless you just have a bad connection on your current ones, but actually wouldn't hurt to have a set.. I dont know many brands, but i'd go with a set of NGK's


btw aleks, is this chick the one?

thought it was another hater.. haha

in that case, i would just get a spring and shock combo, enough to get the car handling better but not too much to kill your wallet.

best bang for the buck mods on those cars i would say is to gutt everything. make it a paperweight.. just my 2cents

if you would want to go low, i would buy skunk2 sport shock combo..

they should drop you 2 1/2 inches all around

i would go with koni shock and eibach spring combos..

they drop about 1 1/2 inches all around and they feel pretty nice

Very Happy

You guys are all wrong. Nicole. You need:

Massive wing, off center stick on hood scoop, altezza lights, clip on spinners, and a 400 inch sub.


Or black out your headlight housings, lower it on some skunk2's, get some diamond racing steelies (they go off of back spacing instead of offset so keep that in mind), purple or teal lug nuts (not aluminum because it will shroud), and a mellow little jdm replica lip.
