I'm putting a K20A2 into my 96 Civic coupe what other up grades should be made to the car itself....ie essential chassis stiffening, brake upgrades (should I go disc brakes all around?) etc? Cost is an issue so what else should be upgraded immediately?

If cost is an issue, I would save all your money for the little things that you will need for your K-Series swap.

 

Yea I know that, but along with all those small things are there things that I Have to upgrade just for better drivability becasue I mean compared to stock its making alot more power and I don't want things to brake just due to the increase in power, and them not being up to par. Any common broken parts after a K series swap? Maybe that's what I should be asking.

Nothing will break because of the increased power, the increase isn't enough to have problems like that. As for driveability issues the only thing I can think of would be adding an LSD to the K20A2 transmission. Even w/o an LSD I haven't come across any driveability issues with my car yet. Good luck.

 

if money is an issue dont do the k swap! dont go cheap.....do it right or the swap will suk!
