you are prolly going to get flamed for this tread by all the FI guys on here... there is another thread about brands of oil too btw.

Most people though.
Coil-overs/Springs
Camber Kit
Exhaust/Header
Intake ( I personally wouldnt buy one yet)
Reflash
can get a lightweight flywheel
Type-R final drive gear
Underdrive pulleys
can throw on some different wheels at any point.

you can use the search function for info on all of these.

biggest waste of money.^^^

suspension then wheels. makes the biggest difference in appearance and will satisfy you until your next mod. that's just me though.

so why arent you still caling them a waste? Dont change your mind or write something just cause some other ***-hats in thie world don't agree with you.

My list goes as follows

Springs/Coils
Wheels
Wingless Trunk (silver)
Swaybar w/ endlinks
LSD Exhaust
HFP Front lip
Civic Type R Shift ****
.....then onto the motor

people are so ******* **** on this website... i basically gave him a list of parts. exactly what he asked for. imo an intake is a waste too.. same with lip kits and removing the stock wing. people dont like my opinion so i tend not to throw it out there as much anymore. like calling the DCRH a POS and saying that the AJP turbo kit is overpriced. and the fact that everyone is racing to buy all this crap before hondata cracks the ecu for us. ill drive my car stock with some hfp suspension and a nice set of wheels until they do and enjoy my warranty. there you wanted my opinion you got it.

Springs/Coils &lt;== waste unless it's the HFP suspension kit
Wheels &lt;== a must
Wingless Trunk (silver) &lt;== a waste
Swaybar w/ endlinks &lt;== good advice
LSD Exhaust &lt;== rice
HFP Front lip &lt;== a must
Civic Type R Shift **** &lt;== a waste

kinda hard to see where you going with this.

HFP suspension is not the only thing out there that is quality.
if you think a wingless trunk is a waste then wheels and the front lip shouldn't be a MUST. they're both appearance items just like the trunk

spending money for a trunk trade or take your trunk off then fill up the gaps = not smart when the wing makes the car differentiate from the rest and looks better that way.
getting a good set of wheels = smoother ride
Getting an HFP body kit = makes the civic look not like a civic.

a wingless Si sets you apart from the rest. wheels don't determine ride quality so much. tires and suspension do. with or without a front lip a civic looks like a civic.
