4 Attachment(s)
Hello, im hourt and im 18 and i recently purchased a 00 Civic Dx like 3 weeks ago and so far this is wat i have done to the car.
Attachment 9741 -Bought the car and threw my bros old rims(Aerospeed RS-GT) on there. They are 17's i want 16's later in my project. Attachment 9742 -Type R Front Lip and Grill Attachment 9743 -Type R Rear Lip Attachment 9744 Full Side View Inno i need to drop the car i already have my tein springs. Tomorrow me and my bro are gonna try to put it on ourselves do you guys think its a good idea? i seen vids and other forums and we have all the tools including the spring compresser. This thursday im getting: -window visors(rainguards) -windows tinted(20%) -HID's (10k) -AEM Intake -And if me and my bro cant do it, my tein springs on Im not doing much to the motor yet because im planning to drop a either a h22 or a b18 which one do you think is better? And i heard about the h22 being a factor about handling, right now im only installing the tein springs as a temp. later i will be getting a full tein suspension which i think would help stiffin the ride out alot more better with a h22 motor. I think i introduced myself enough and i will keep an update on the things im putting in my car and also including images. How do you think im doing so far with my EK9? It would help alot if ppl gave me some important feedbacks!:D Thank you, |
Hey welcome to HCF and nice work on the Civic right now! Yes I would def. not go over 16' for my wheels.
I wouldn't ride on just lowering springs very long. You going to blow your struts right off the car. I would recommend full coilovers, or getting: http://www.kyb.com/products/shocks/agx.php with your springs or these : http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewP...idproduct=3836 |

Incorrect. Tein s-techs are designed to work with stock shocks. FYI, dont buy tein coilovers....they blow. Everyone i know has either A) ditched them for something better B) blow the shocks within a year. Get something better. Koni yellows/ground controls are very popular, Buddy club makes a good setup if you want stiff since that H22 is going to make that front end dive in hard cornering.

You think the CTR headlights from passwordjdm is worth it? cuz they run around 800$ and thats deep. but when i look on ebay its $110 for it. you think their the same?

ooooh, not worth it for an extra light bulb in the housing.
Do the DIY method and bake them apart, then repaint the housing. |

welcome to HCF.
not a bad start on your ek. you should color match the car, if you like the black and silver look then at least color match the grill. My civic was originally black and silver like yours but i color matched everything 5 months ago. looks a lot cleaner IMO I have s-techs on my civic as well on stock shocks been a year and a half and still good. It gives a moderate drop but not low enough in most peoples eyes. As for the headlights don't buy the 800 headlights unless this is a serious build where you want authentic stuff. Just find some replicas on ebay. keep us updated |
