i would honestly say you overpaid on everything except for the wheels/tires depending on condition....
not too bad though.....i mean, the discrepencies are only like +- $40 on everything
less chat more TECH y0!

Re: was it worth it? (nocaryet)
In my personal opinion, if you have no swap or something major done to your motor, yes it was a waste. But that's because i'm into racing more than cosmetics. Now if your into looks, you did pretty good.

you could've found tails for 75-100 shipped, and headlights for 125 shipped. other than that, the prices look pretty good.

disk brakes off a civic sedan? For front or rear? sedans didn't have disc's in the back in 95 and you have them on your front already. Just drop it man. Get some coilovers and you'll be set for exterior. But wait a minute, you don't know if your gonna keep your car and your doin all this stuff to it? This stuff won't help the selling price bro. Just BE waRneD

Re: was it worth it? (civicdxtyper)
yea im getting its rear brakes for my car. i thought all civic sedans had disc brakes. i know it wont help selling price ut i plan on selling the stuff back out again if my parents decide not to let me keep this car.
EDIT: $450 on shocks and springs worth it? i know have to aftermarket shocks if u have springs but is it ok to ride around with just springs? my car has 34,400 miles on it.
