What do you actually plan on doing with it, realistically it will come down to budget.

Welcome to the site
What are your budget, goals for the car?

 

[mlariviere]

well, im gonna do stuff to it as money becomes available, but i think it will be naturally aspirated and probably just stick to bolt ons. at the moment it has ugly plastic hubcaps so im trying to decide if i wanna spend half of what the car's worth on rims or just take off the hubs and paint the steelies black with a nice finish (i know. its not a Volkswagen) . I also plan to lower it 1 1/2-2".

What are you planning on lowering it on.

Welcome, bolt ons on a d won't get u much power so don't go spending all your money on them, maybe a cheaper yonaka exhaust and ebay short ram with name brand filter so it'll sound nice.

If u want to drop for better handling but a stiffer ride then I think its been decided that progress cs2's are a great drop for the price and you'll be able to adjust your height. Or u can just go wit a spring and shock setup if you want to drop for looks and don't think you'll be touching your suspension again after that.

I have 15" Honda alloy wheels w/tires for sale, if interested.

True, but I sure wouldn't waste my money on a crappy quality exhaust either.

First off I would just like to welcome you . About the rim situation, you can never go wrong with the Civic HX's wheels, or if those are to small the Rota track R's are pretty nice as well.
