that's fine though, it's still a fun car. good suspension will make it faster......

i was thinking about some fully threaded coilovers, but i know what brand to go with
any suggestions?
something under $1,000 with camber adjusters and stuff
i was thinking about tein OR just getting eibach sportline springs with tokico HP shocks and a spring camber kit
I have Koni shocks and Ground Control coilovers w/ Eibach springs. check the 6th gen product review forum. all the adjustability of coilovers and very easily upgradeable.

IMO asking if a civic is a good car for long term, is like asking is water is good for you...

im thinking about buying a 96-00 civic and i was wondering if its a good choice and worth it because of
*relibility-obviously it is, but how many miles do you have on your current civic?
i just hit 150,000 today, it should go for quite a few more. i have heard of an accord that had so many miles that the odomiter reset, and honda tryed to trade the guy any new car in their line up, and he refused! i have seen a few with 500,000+ just from what my dad has had in his impound lot...

What kind of glue are you sniffing to ask a question like this?
