What would be better to do now?
Hi guys
I have a 96 civic coupe with stock suspension, some 14 inch american racing wheels and some michelin all seasons in the front and bridgestones in the back, and I am looking into increasing the handeling capabilities of my car for a daily driver, maybe autocross sometimes. What would give me a better handeling out of the two? I will do both eventually, but want as most performance as I can get now. I would either spend my money on a good set of rims and tires, or on a good set of springs and shocks. So what would be better for handeling to do right now? Thanks a lot.

May want to try the suspension forum..
Depends on how tight your budget is.
If you want a good drop, you'll need upgraded shocks/struts.
You can go with coilovers, or shock/spring combo.
If you have $500-750 you can get koni yellows and ground control coilovers. A tired and tested good combo.
I really enjoyed my cheaper tokico illuminas and H&R race spring. Koni's and illuminas come with a lifetime warranty.
I only spend $300 for my whole kit (used) and it was Fine. 5 way adjustable and a good drop.

for 300 he could just go on eBAY and buy some NEUSPEED sport springs on KYB AGX struts brand new and have a good set-up. .
