I converted from Toyota to Honda because...
I used to own a nice car. It was a 1995 Camry LE Coupe(rare). It was 5-speed (rare) with all the options including power-seats. I lowered it on H&R springs and had motegi rims on it. I liked it, but I wanted to do more. The problem was that there was only one way to do things. One set of coil-overs, one exhaust, one intake... So I sold it, and got a good price for it too.($6500)
In my my mind there is only one car that has unlimited possibilities. CIVIC!!!
Now I am the proud owner of a 1998 Civic DX Hatch. It has power-steering, power-brakes, and a tachometer and thats all. It is in mint condition (literally) I will show pics when I can. Babied its whole life at the dealership. I love it!
I am open to suggestions but here is my plan:
99-00 si Rims (Already have 15" summer steelies with 195-55-15 falkens)
Koni Yelllows/Tein S springs 1.4F 1.1R
Suspension Techniques Front and rear sway-bar kit
Blox Subframe reinforcement brackets and endlinks
Apexi Noir Catback exhaust
Tell me what you think.

No offense, but dealerships don't baby cars. They get abused pretty bad by lot attendants, and washed with very harsh solvents and high water pressure. Babied is living it's life a garage and being meticulously hand washed and detailed once a week.
Congrats on the new purchase, tho.
BTW, since when do s-techs only drop 1.4/1.1 .... mine were almost 2", as are my girlfreind's.

Great plans if you intend to autocross with the car. Personally, I think that the sway bar and subframe parts are very nice, yet I would look into spending some money on a good header or intake manifold. I'm not a fan of the suspension combo. I run K-Sports on my EG, and I think they surpass the Koni/Teins in means of function and adjustability.
