Default Suggestions welcome please

Swapping B16 SirII into my 93 Civic HB SI... Looking to lower it on skunk2 most likely.

http://www.racinglab.com/skunk2-coilover-010.html

and Buying some halo projection headlights

http://www.k2motor.com/lflhpcv923djm.html

And possibly this exhaust.

Wondering if anyone had any other suggestions, or better suggestions.

Also, Popular intakes for a b16? Ive been told AEM produces more power, true/false?

Any help is welcome. thanks.

As for most of that crap, it's your call, you're the one that has to drive it every day. As for AEM producing more power, I wouldn't say so.

Best way to spend the $ IMO is to buy an intake ebay pipe (since all piping is the same) and buy a K&N filter for it.

I would only go with the Skunk2's if you are fully perpared for one hell of a bumpy/annoying ride.

Halo's have never been my thing, I would much rather spend the money elsewhere ie. engine mods IMO

That exhuast sounds nice...

There's a dynosheet on here somewhere of a bunch of intake's being dyno'd.
I remember one of them had the AEM CAI as the most HP producer on a stock ITR motor.

riding on steelies for now, until i get 1k for tires, (soon)

How much should i lower it? Stock suspension, 14" steelies, 2.5 inches look okay?

Anywhere to get a good clean looking valve cover for a b16?

Why spend 250+ on temporary suspension when you are going to upgrade? That 250 you would spend on those could get you that much closer to the real deal

because this temporary system is for around a year, and it would bother me a lot to have a car riding stock height...

Its only 250 dollars, a whole two days of work, for a better looking car. That, and i can sell them to my friend later.

why not just got with some H&R springs and save some money if the only issue it the ride height? There are much better/cheaper options than skunk2... trust me.
