Default New car

I finally sold my 93' and got a 2000 red civic Si today. I'm in luv
I have done most of my research on the 5th gen civics like I used to own, so I don't know everything about the newer civics.
Check this out, the car only has 29,000 miles on it, and the previous owner installed Koni Yellow adjustables and Nitto tires. I was thinking since the car already has Koni yellows(he/she left the stock springs) I should get some Eibach pro kit springs, since I want to retain stock Si ride and only want a small drop.
Any suggestions for my Si???? I am going to keep the exterior completly stock besides the slight drop (Why would anybody change something on the Si's, they look so perfect from the factory). I also don't want my car to be loud at all, do you think a Apexi WS is worth the $$$, I don't want it to be a exhaust that drones on the highway. I also don't want to change the intake, so would headers and exhaust be a worthy investment with stock Si intake????
Thanks in advance,

retain stock ride height but yet you want a small drop?

maybe you mean "close" to stock ride height?

anyway. just mod the car and stop being all conservative.....well holup after you do get your first mod then you will want more. (like most ppl) not much a difference between the 5th and 6th gens. but goin from a d series to a b series then there is the difference.

Just research anything before you purchase. Also its true what they say. You get what you pay for.

If you mean retain stock ride, then Prokit is just for you. I've been riding my Prokit for three years now and I love it (no worries). In addition, to your koni yellows (if you're absolutely sure you have koni yellows) you can even lower it more since yellows have adjustable perch.

As far ar exhaust, my friend's SI has the tanabe (dunno which one) and it has a nice deep tone to it, not LOUD. just perfect. for the headers, simple DC 4-2-1 is good for mid power. if your keeping your stock intake box, at least put a drop in K&N (i have a used one. email me if your interested) in order to get full potential out of your full exhaust upgrade.

my .02 cents

Yea, they are definatly Koni Yellows. They came in the car so I have no idea how to adjust them or how much to move them, I have the little white **** thing to adjust them with, I just don't know how to select the proper setting. And how can I drop the car with just the Koni's????? If I do that, are the stock springs sufficient???
Also, It came with these tires, are they any good: Nitto NT 505 exit GS ???? (they stick like a motherfu**er)
thanks
