hey guys, i just got a Stocked RSX 02 Type S with 70k on it.
I want better handling and speed.
I was thinking about DC Strut bars, AEM V2 Intake, & N1 Catback for starts?

Any suggestions guys? Help a girl out.

 

those are good basic bolt ons... but one question

why is this in forced induction?

 

yeah I'm thinking you posted in the wrong forum

Well i have a V2 for sale if you want to buy it. Personally i wouldn't go with DC struts bars because they're very flexable. I can bend them with my bare hands. The N1 cat-back is a good choice.

 

sorry for posting in the wrong forum. im new at this.

 

hey dustin, how much are you selling your V2 for? got pics? How new is it and why you selling it? katch me on aim illdefiined

 

how much you wanna spend??????

I would go injen CAI and for exhuast something like HKS, greddy or fujitsubo. as for bars it's not really that needed. go with and ITR rear sway bar.

 

Go big Go TURBO !!!!!!! Cut the B/S. Buying things you really dont need is a wast of Money.

 

a nice set of coilovers and mugen strut bars will do you some good...for performance a cai and hondata #4 will do for now

 

DO NOT just get an itr sway bar. A sway bar is for suspension tuning and should not be add as a bolt-on. First you must have a good set of fully adjustable coil-overs and get them adjusted and aligned correctly. If the way you are drivng is producing too much understeer THEN you fine tune it with a sway bar. And an itr sway is not always the answer. You may need a stiffer bar to get the desired affect, depending on how your driving it.

I would not reccomend a stiffer sway bar to some one that never drives the car harder than 7/10ths. Save your money for a GOOD, not springs or crappy coilovers, but a good set of coilover.

As far as suspension, the first upgrade MUST be tires. A decent set of falkens or yokos will do nicely. Learning to max out your cars ability stock is a must if you ever plan on modding more.

After tires I would go with a good set of coil-overs like tiens or D2's or B & G's.

As far as going faster, I suggest a CAI and then hondata #4 reflash as the best bang for the buck.

Note: I never had a plan when I started modding and I'm now paying extra to replace the short cuts I tried to take.
