Default My Honda Buildup Stage 1!!!


NEW PARTS ON PAGE 2!


well I got started on my new suspension setup for 98 Civic hatch this week-after collecting parts for a month its about time to start

Heres what I am starting with





Yeah I dont know about the persons "taste" that owned it before I did but I didnt approve-so I opted to go all out up front and back-so far I completed
2000GSR rear disc
HKS Hypermax Pro Gymkana ITR coilovers
Function 7 ITR/CIVIC lower A-arms
Techna-fit stainless lines
2000 Civic Si front brakes,lower arms,swaybar
Cusco Rear strutbar/18mm lower sway bar with beaks subframe kit

I will get pics of everything installed once im done,its already looking 100% better
