first of all welcome to clubcivic. second of all, there are thousands of other threads just like this one. third of all, what kind of budget are you working with?

No one can tell you how to build your car. It depends on your budget and your goals. Do you want your car to be faster? Do you want it to handle better? Do you want it to look better? Do you want more than one of those? Modifying cars takes thousands of dollars and can become a huge money pit.

My personal opinion is upgrade the suspension with FULL coilover's. Don't go cheap and get shitty lowered strut and spring combo, unless you buy quality ones.

Welcome to the site and basically i second everything john said.
ALso try and use the search thread it will help you out a good bit.
Also what are you trying to acheive, what is your budget?

right now my budget to spend on the car is about 500 a month. i have a y7 and a y8. im hoping to make around 250 hp which will be more than enough for me. im also trying to find a honda club in ottawa area. not too many people own nice hondas where i live lol

The only way to make that kind of hp on a civic is to swap and build another motor or to boost the d series motor.
