So...hey! =)
My baby is a '00 Civic EX coupe, SOHC VTEC- she's mostly stock right now (currently rocking a K&N air filter, NGK spark plugs and a catback exhaust with a nice fat 3.5" tip), but I have plenty of plans for her and my goal is to do all my work myself. Hence the reason I'm here =)
I'm trying to be a big kid with her (last car was a '96 Accord LX, complete with Spyder 2 body kit, a giant and obnoxious wing I pulled off a Teggy, two-tone black-hood paint, no exhaust 'cause I thought I was cool, and a sound system that set off car alarms and got me pulled over all the time). I have grown up a little since then lol and want this one to look as clean and classy as possible. Basically I want moderate performance mods and want her to sit pretty on her face- she's my daily and I have plans for a drift project in the spring but need to get her where I want first.

Plans for mods:
-Eibach (or S Tech, haven't decided yet) springs (1.8" drop on stock struts)
-K&N short ram intake
-wheels (rocking black steelies 'til I get some nice XXRs)
-Headers (still doing research)

...and whatever body work I decide I wanna do, probably very little once she sits lower, maybe a little lip and cut some fog light holes in my stock bumper. Also a rear-view mirror bar because they look awesome :3

XXR are a pretty popular wheel in the north east. Basically the best ccw rep you can get for the cheap price. And the platinum finish looks good. But OP plans sound like a nice start. I'm from CT. Nice to see another nor'easter

Keep in mind that dropping lower than roughly 1.2 inches on stock struts will accelerate their wear. You'll be lucky to get a year and a half out of them at a 1.8" drop.

Only other thread posted was about suspension. She isn't lowering.
