Finally have enough Money 2000 Civic EBP Si
So I bought this car back in 2004 When I was 17 years old and now being 5 years later I still have it in almost bone stock condition with 44k miles on it. I'm currently in Germany serving in USAF and with all this excess money I would finally like to do some upgrades. It sits in my garage only driving ~500miles a year ( my DD is a 96 Prelude S ).
I have not kept up to date with parts and companies but still remember the big names. Right now the only thing done on my suspension is Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs which were installed back in 2001 from the previous owner. I would like to upgrade my suspension mainly looking for a smooth comfortable ride and If I can a tighter ride.
Anyone with my car or vast knowledge in this department could tell me exactly what I need it would be appreciated.
Thank You very much.

This is some useful info on sway bars, also maybe some good struts and tie bars and strut bars to stiffen up the body. Just a little food for thought for you

so ride quality? well...its hard to say...its either smooth or tight...if you want both than you are gonna have to reajust the settings everythime you want to drive a certain way. go take a look at tein. but i say what you got now is good untill you figure out what you want in to long run. but dont spend all that moola if you dont plan on keeping her for awhile.

I do plan on keeping the car for a long time. Thanks for the quick responses. So right now the recommendation is to Struts/Tiebars/Strut Bars?

Koni Yellow shocks on Ground Control adjustable coils. Strut bars with maybe a beefier rear sway bar and a subframe brace with a lower tie bar.

For sway bars there are a bunch some off the top of my head are suspension techniques and tanabe, oem like type r integra or ctr. asr makes a good rear subframe brace, benen as well, theres a bunch so look around a little and figure out what you exactly want. Then I would post it up and get some comments on the setup you want.
