99 Honda Civic SI - steering wheel, cluster, brake caliper, and suspension questions
Been told a thousand and one times to come here and make a topic for advice. I got a 99 Honda Civic SI. There are several things I want to do, however it's knowing what are and are not the right parts to get.
For one I'm looking into a new steering wheel since I currently have the stock one w/ airbag still in it. I was looking at Grant steering wheels but not sure which would be the right one for my model and which hub I'll need for it.
Secondly I had my Gauge Cluster go bad on me. Checked fuses, bulbs and only thing I can think of that's giving me issues is the wiring (bad previous owner). I am really just wanting to get a new oem si gauge cluster since I've had no luck with current one.
Third is the calipers. They are beat the hell up. Owner before me didn't take care of the car once. Would like any recommendations for good calipers that are affordable.
Fourth is suspension/coil overs. Recommendations for both would be highly appreciated.
If you have websites that you would recommend for me to check out as well fill free to post them so long as their legit.
Thanks

Steering wheel. Stick to the 6 bolt variety. Stay away from Grant due to installation issues with these cars (as there is no easy way to do it without an adapter that doesn't seem to exist or is for sale).
Cluster. Then get one.
Calipers. Rebuild them.
Suspension. See post above.
Body. Full set of what?

You can get a brand new si cluster from majestic Honda. Just gotta order the individual gauges and put it all together which isn't hard at all

can send you refurbed OEM calipers rebuilt to OEM specs.
I got a set of the 99 SI rear calipers off of them and they are AMAZING.
They WILL do core charges as well.

Re: 99 Honda Civic SI
If it's easier to just rebuild my calipers then I'll go that route. As far as the gauge cluster goes im still trying to fix mine. The original problems where that the lights werent lighting the gauges up so at night time I wouldn't be able to see what speed I was at. Now the Fuel and C/F dont work. I've checked fuses, bulbs. Only thing I can think it could be is the wiring .

Re: 99 Honda Civic SI
The lights on your cluster arent working because your dimmer switch is bad. As for all else, listen to what people are telling you.

What car club is this?
and what do you plan on doing with a chipped ECU when your car is all stock? Leave the ECU alone until you get mods requiring you to need a chipped ECU and a tune.
