Default What to do?

Yeah everyone will hate me for asking but i need opinions. I have 1500 to spend on my eg hatch. I'm getting suspension. I was thinking maybe gt3s too. What would you use the money for? Its for a stock EG hatch. I know i can make my own decisions but, after i spend this i won't have money for awhile. I don't want to regret what i spent it on. So i ask you experienced Honda owner what to do? I have heard that most people on here aren't very nice so please be nice.

suspension is a good start. if you dont mind being slow. but if your going to do **** do it right not half assed! get a good set of coilovers and shocks or springs and shocks you should;nt be dissappointed. or w/ 1500 buy a swap for you SLOW car either way you wont be dissappointed if you do things right. also SEARCH can be your friend

It all depends on what you want to do. Honestly I'd get some nice Coilovers and dump it. You could get a lip and a CF hoof if thats your thing. You could save up some more cash and go for a Motor Swap. Its all what you want to do.

i would reccomend doing a good set of coilovers, sway bars, and strut bars save teh rest for a swap later

$1500 is not enough to do a swap worth doing.

Yeah I would go w/ suspension first. Or go swap first and ride around stock height?

hmm...go suspension. You'll have fun, learn what your car can basically do under hard driving conditions. Then do a swap.

or... do a B- Series swap and have a total sleeper?

What can i do to make it faster w/o a swap or maybe a d-series swap? Idk Also when i get suspension should i buy Lca's what do they do? Would simple intake, header, and exhaust do anything for a stock d-series? Please take it easy on me!

Go with the coilovers H&R will give you better overall preformance than tein. Go with lcas SRR or Function7. Get camber kit try http://www.specprod.com
and sway,tie,and strut bars. Bushings can also make a huge diffrence.

The mods u listed wont effect u much so save up for GSR or if u have patience go K
