Needs low............ but the dog is AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, and I love your OEM grill wish I would have kept mine.... speaking of which..... have you ever seen the EDM grill?!?!?! Thing is sick lol.

Please leave 96-98 front end on the car.....

Id suggest getting an LS Engine as it is the cheapest and IMO the best bang for buck.... can always go VTEC later on and it has zero problems with boost. I will stay D series forrever in any civic I get from now on.... D or H is the only 2 I would do, as B is expensive/still slow.

Do 5 speed swap at same time as the swap obviously..... and having a 5 speed car is the best/fastest way to learn.

Your tires won't be destroyed running negative, lots of cars run negative out of the factory, as long as it isn't an extreme amount your tires will be fine. It is toe that destroys tires, and that is why you get an alignment after you lower. But you will want to get a camber kit since you'll have to run some negative to fit the 17s, it'll take some adjusting to do it without rubbing.

well update not gettin si rims gonna use that money to drop it instead.
so with 16x7 droppin 1.5 maybe 1.75 inches i dont need camber kit?
and plus i was readin on drop springs the d2 springs reads this " Lower Center of Gravity -- Lowers Vehicle 1.0" - 2.5" depending on vehicle "
and the skunk 2 reads "Average drop is approximately 1.5” - 1.75”. When applicable"

someone explain to me what i need to do to drop it 1.75 which spring will be better do i need a camber kit im so confused.
