If you know alot about electronics n computers you should be fine but if you dont then i wouldnt. In my opinion i would just take it somewhere and have it done so you dont screw yourself out of it. But i do have some good news i LOWERED my car hahaha 2 inches with new stock struts. il get pics tonight or tomarrow up
you bought lowering springs and new stock struts? no offense why wouldn't you go aftermarket struts? stock ones will blow with lowering springs (it'll take a while but they'll still blow). still tho, pics or it didn't happen! lol
ya thats what i figured. i'll get a shop to do it.

well my dad bought new ones for my birthday so
yea in a couple weeks i will be ordering hi compression bottom end rebuild kit from fjdistributors.com Plus i think i have my motor build all planned out. im going to get stage 1 crowler cams, skunk2 pro series intake mani, about a 68mm throttle body. so far thats what i have in mind but not fully comitted to it. still looking for ideas. trying to build to beat my buddies b18a1 thats pretty much stock lol
Why would you order a high compression bottem end rebuild kit when your thinking on boost? unless your just throwing the idea around currently. If your going to run 10lbs of boost and your engine is already apart, go ahead and get low compression setup so you can run a proper turbo setup!

So im finally back lol ive been have alot of problems with those springs n struts that i got coilovers instead they ebay(sucks) but there adjustable and they ride really nice. I should have pics up by tomarrow or sometime this weekend. It looks nice and i ordered some 8k hids. I am looking for some ideas on what kinda clutch to get for my d16z6 when i drop it in. Any ideas guys?

keep my stock clutch??? or are you talking about my suspension? lol
No suspension is not clutch rofl! Nor is the clutch he's referring to to game wining kill in cod..sounds like you need to do more research..
Either way glwb

ive been researching on my whole motor swap n clutch n stuff since last october pretty sure i did enough just want some input from ppl. So im pretty sure ive done enough...
you may have. dunno. sorry. a stock clutch would be good enuf you aren't planning on running crazy boost just mild NA thrills.
as for suspension. if they ride nice and give you that nice drop then who really cares what name brand or not they are? good pick up! (for example, i got buddy club n+ for my 8th gen and it made the car ride so bad i had to go back to stock. i hate seeing how high it is)

i have 2 buddies that have the same motor (d16z6) but one has a stage 1 clutch n the other stock n the one with the stage wins n when i drive a stock clutch it sounds n feels like it slips alot. lol i guess my point is i dont want slippage if possible.
