Hey guys. Ive been lurking on this forum for years. I'm 25 and live in louisiana. I've only owned 2 cars, both civic. Love my hondas. Had an 03 civic coupe AT and the tranny crapped out. I now have something i actually wanna fix up, a 98 hatch MT. Drivetrain freshly rebuilt so this one should last awhile. Decided to amke an account because i want to start fixing her up right, and this is THE site for info. I'm sure ill need some help with my first major upgrade, suspension. Thanks all

i've read many a threads on it so far. Like I said been lurking for years. Pretty much decided on koni/gc combo w/ tophats thanks to yall. Was gonna get skunk2 but i think the konis are nicer. Just gotta wait for next check to buy.

 

You'll be happy with that choice. I just installed koni g/c on my db8 using stock top hats. Rates are 450f & 350r, and so far I'm pretty happy happy with it. I do wish I went with a little stiffer spring rates, mostly for the rear though.

 

My only concern is that im currently sitting on 17's. I dont wanna drop it much but I also want to do a acura disk/5lug conversion later. I dont know if its compatible with the acura parts AND work well with my 17s. I do plan to do 16's later on.

 

You can get them now. When it's converted to five lug and you have the integra rear trailing arms in, use your 96-00 civic rear lcas.

 

awesome thanks man. Ill be getting them in about a week and a half
