You should spend it on performance. Do you have D15b engine?

If your car is an lx, it does not have vtec, and simple bolt ons really wont make it a "sleeper".They will make the car pick up a bit better on the road though. Spend the money on what you want, looks or performance. Personally, I would like a bit more get up and go.

hmmm... i was pretty sure it had vtec... i thought i saw it actually printed on the engine itself.. i will look when i go out to my car today... but i dont think a 1.5 drop is a good idea... where i live(upstate new york) there are lots of speedbums and uneven roads and hills and bumps and ****... not to mention we got 3 feet of snow in 1 day about 6 months ago.... so that would kinda be hard to do... but what is a fat5

i dont really know but it picks up a lot better. i mean my engine onlys got like 59k miles(just got it cuz i blew the other one). It is pretty loud though cuz of the catless pipe, no resonator either.
