Newbie
I just bought a 2002 Civic and was wondering if there was any parts I should replace for better performace, I'm not going to rebuild the engine or anything but some small (easy to install) suggestions would be great, thanks!

Re: Newbie (98lagen)
bolt-ons......header/intake/exhaust = about $1000 total (give or take)
go with suspension mods first!
j/k, seriously though, anything a little cheaper?

Re: Newbie (N8)
suspension first, imo
shocks and springs or coilovers ~ $700
new rims 15's or 16's with some falken azenis
you'll love the new stance and handling

Suspension and Brakes first! IMO...............
Then with what u have left go get your basic bolt ons that will increase speed a little bit and make it sound a lot better too........\

Re: Newbie (archer77)
welcome man! Congrats on scoring a nice car. LIke others said, I would start with the suspension first. Reason being that those cars are still too new for anyone to have a competitive market on those aftermarket products that you are looking for. If you wait a little while, THERE WILL be a market for those parts soon. PAtience makes the price go lower.

Re: Newbie (archer77)
Are Tokico 'blues' good shocks? they are pretty cheap, I don't race my car plus my gf drives it a lot so I need something that is a comfortable ride but also improves handling.... I was lookin at koni's but they are quite a bit more expensive, and whats the difference between the 'reds' and 'yellows'?
