How do you plan on doing that with $200? Answer? You can't.

Rear sway bar and a reinforcement plate can be found used for about that.

I'm guessing there's no camber correction on it if there's stock struts w/springs. Start with upper control arms for the front. Especially if you decide to go lower later. You'll be able to drive past the tire shop a lot more.

Why do you recommend a camber kit?

And please don't give that tire wear crap.

B/c most youngsters roll around dropped at least 1.5 w/no correction to their alignment in order to compensate.

You don't need any "correction" especially at a 1.5'' drop.

Set the toe and go.

Ok, well its never worked on my 4 civics I had before my integra. I know you guys swear that toe wears the inside, but I had all the other ones realigned and still wore the inside, just not AS bad. Whatever you say I call it the been there done that's. Grew up and now have camber correction w/o tire wear OR wander.
Edit; btw you made my point for me thank you- resetting the toe counts as correction.

I've been running -2.5* of negative camber front/rear for over a year with 100% perfect tire wear. I've been past -3* and still got perfect tire wear.
Toe is the true killer of tires, camber just simply is not. Yes camber wears tires, but not nearly as quickly as the toe being of out of spec will.

If you lower the car, get the thing aligned or you WILL notice uneven tire wear. This is where people get confused. Lower the car, camber goes negative and toe goes out and you guessed it, tires get chewed up.

Besides, a little negative camber is a good thing. lol

You have Blox lugs on OEM steelies with hubcaps.

You do know the seats are different and the Blox lugs should only be used on aluminum wheels with 60* conical seats. OEMs are ball seats. They are 2 totally different mounting seats.

Look up a thread "building your dreamcar 101" and that will give you your answer for your 200 bucks burning a hole in your pocket.

4 quarts of oil, filter, fresh plugs, can of throttle body cleaner, clean IACV, new front brake pads and a couple of tanks of gas.

Maybe some new wiper blades.

Best use of $200 car money with a D16Z6

With any money you have left over buy more gas.
