Need an opinion on K20a3 buy it? also suspension question
I got a line on a K20a3 with tranni, harness, everything to do a swap except the mounts for 1500$....is that a good deal motor has 20, 000 miles on it and looks spotless.
I am wanting to swap it into my 99 civic eventually when the D16 starts to go.
also go the line on this supsension setup but I couldnt identify the shocks/struts

just need some opinions from some serious honda enthusiasts anyone who has either of these setups your info would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance

thanks for the info ya the motor is legit the guy still has the car just went with a different setup as far as suspension goes right now Im runnin tokico coilovers (I m just guessing since they look like they match the shocks) and tokico hp shocks/struts and it rides hard
everytime I hit a bump going 40+ it hits hard and I hate it I was thinking the extra coil would be the best solution since the adjustables have like three inches less than normal coils. I don't understand why they make em so short there is still a ton of space between the perch nut and the coil seats on the shocks and the car is as low as it will go without serious rubbing or bottoming out I have a lot of room to lower it even more but then it would be like two inches from the ground. They could have used that extra space for a little more spring without sacrificing handling

Before you buy that motor, go to http://www.k20a.org and read. That's the most informative K-Series website I've seen.
