Default Tough Decisions, Tough Decisions...

I am moving out of my parents house now that I have a good job and am forced with a decision. I am leaving Aug. 1st. I want to either get the Tein Flex suspension and EDFC or a B18B motor complete with i/h/e. What road do you all think would provide the most enjoyment out of my EH2? I have tried thinking about this for weeks and continue to save up but I thought I would throw the question out to ya'll. Thanks for any input.

To elaborate...I plan on doing autocross so I want a good sus. but I also need the ***** to back it up...Basically comes down to speed first or handling first.

alright....

IMO, it's funner banging corners and auto-crossing than it is to be able to punch it, and then slow down before you plow into the curb

I can have a car with a decent suspension setup, which will....brake, turn, look, and feel 10x more solid than a car with a b18 swap. So MANY parts of the car improve with a stable suspension as stated above.

I guarantee you that with the same driver and the same car on the same autocross course, with 2 identical cars minus coilovers/or b18....the hatch with the suspension will run better times.

And since you said you wanna have fun autocrossing????? Well....stock hatches have HORRIBLE body roll in stock form

Alright...my minds made up...that is what I thought...appreciate your answer. I will have to suffer for a few extra weeks (month) till I swap in the motor. I am also getting the Energy suspension kit and some new lca's and a camber kit along with the suspension. What bushings need to be put in by someone with a press?
