My 00 Civic EX (56k go make a sandwich)

[squidmaster]

all the emblems are still there lol
but
yeah
clean car

and kangaroo has the sickest UPS car I have ever seen! lol
hes right about what he says though

 

[chadi]

clean car, man i wish my car was that clean when i got it, but yea, the first thing you should do is lower it, not slam it, but you could find a decent set of lowering springs for around150-200 and be able to ride them on your stock struts, then wheels, you can find 15s-16s with tires for around 500-600, cars are expensive...ive had my current civic for almost two years now, and all ive done so far is lower it, intake, header, exhaust....did the whole stereo thing, but decided i want a go fast"er" car, than a loud car...im finally getting some wheels sometime within the next month...

my suggestions to you, are to figure out what you want out of your car before you start modding..

ya gettin a job ASAP lol, what springs should i get?

try to stay away from ebay performance parts...ive seen springs from ebay snap


i habe goldline lowering springs on my stock struts, and i think it lowers my car where i want it, plus the ride quality is still there, i got mine for $50, but they usually go for 150-180

as you can see, i only have the front ones installed right now.

I remember when my car looked like that, not too long ago.
A couple weeks is "not too long ago" right?
looks like an awesome starting point!
and we all have our plans(dreams)
whats you're plans for it?

may i suggest that your first set of wheels, they should be used, from some one local, do go out and spend your lifes savings on a set or rims, i know poeple get bored of their wheels sometime

 

[Coutts]

what kind of tires should i get? i want some "high-performance" type ones. how much do you think a decent/good set runs for?

well, im buying some used 16 mullins predator rims with falken azenis for $270 and thats all im going to be spending on my firest set...right now your car does not need "high performance" tires, i say go with some falken zeix, on some fairly cheap rims...like enkies..i know you can get a set of or52's with tires for $550 from websites....just look for the wheel tire packages, if you are going to by them new, and look for what kind of tires come with them...you dont need azenis', gforce's, 555r's,

you might want to look into falken zeix, they are a good all season tire

well im going this weekend to get some $40 a piece all season radial replacements for my current ones becaues im at risk for a blowout right now, the rubber is like cracked down the middle on the tires; the mechanic wen i got my oil change showed me it.

ive never bought brand new tires before, ive always just got free ones, or bought used one...lol, but yea, do you know what kind of tires they are?

 

[Coutts]

just ur average all season radial ones that you put on like any car, nothing fancy about them, probably cheaper than $40 a piece.

 

[chadi]

oh...

 

[Coutts]

yeah..lol

 

[Astheros]

1 lower it....eibach sportlines springs...1.8 in drop front and rear...safe for stock shocks i think
2 rims.....SI rims are cheap and they usually come with tires or HX's if you can find em
3 fogs
4 lipkit and grill
5 tint

ill probably follow your recommendation there. how much are the springs?

 

[Evan.]

Eh... Id do what YOU want. Its your car. Sure people can give good recommendations, but ultimately what you do to your car should bring out YOUR style.

BTW, I have a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs for sale if your interested.

 

[Coutts]

are they used? how much?

Best advice ever..

 

[Coutts]

yeah i need a job first though lol

 

[Redbone]

if you are looking for ride quality, I recommend H&R Sport springs and KYB AGX shocks/struts. You can get both on EBAY for a good price.
