pick one up at pep boys or autozone... I think sears has them, but they may have HAYNES
either way both will tell you about the car

Ask us any question and 24 hours later, assuming the question isn't a retarded one, you'll have multiple answers from some very learned people. Give it a try right now: ask us something about a Honda/Acura and see what we can do.

okay... what springs/coilovers will work best with koni yellows on a 92-95 hatch??
I was thinking H&R's (thats what was suggested to me before) but what about Tein or skunk2??

Ground Control Coilovers. Adjustable ride height, eibach quality, good handling. If you want even less body roll (with a harsher ride), go with custom higher spring rates

Yes, because the spring itself is much taller, allowing for a softer spring rate, and a better ride. However, because of this softer spring rate there will be more body roll than if you had something with a higher springrate (a.k.a. coilover sleeve)

Re: (BauleyCivic)
As odd as it sounds, I have an OLD book from readers digest. It's a big hardback book that explains all the basics of car stuff and even how to do repairs/maintenance. It's where I started to learn, but hands on will beat anything you can read.

http://www.hondaswap.com Good place to find engine codes, chassis codes, weights, trim levels and things like that.
Also http://www.autotrader.com has a cool research and compare function. Gives a brief description of interior levels, and options. With motor size, MPG, HP, stuff like that.
