You want the bottom to look nice??

What have you been looking at?

You have to pay to play, modifying your car the right way isn't cheap nor will it ever be.

What an awesome way to start out here on HT, 9 posts in and your already making best friends? How cute!

Best start reading up because your not gonna get $hit from your fellow users w/that attitude. This isn't facebook, we can all see what you post egg head.

PS- Muffler bearings and blinker fluid, that'll make your car handle like a dream.

Seen this and had to jump on the fail train!
But before you EVER EVEN THINK aftermarket you gotta do maintenance. Just got my teggy and when people ask what my plans are I say maintenance this year with a drop and next year is when I'll worry about my motor plans.

Well yes and no, this scenario is hard to judge.

OP says "any replies good or bad will be okay" but you gave him a "bad" reply...so it looks as if you've fallen into the douche category.

Don't worry 98...im here for you.

Bushings are a great place to start, it's amazing how worn out a chassis can get. 9/10 when i have a car come in with a noise or handling complaint it due to a dry rotted bushing. And as far as looks of the underside go lower tie bars in the rear offer a lot of bang for you buck and are fairly easy to install, but i would expect better handling from it. Check out passwordjdm.com they can be pricey at times but there good ppl and will work with you.

what i did on my car is start with replacing all the bushings, i used PIC hard bushings, but hardrace makes a kit and then the cheaper alternative would be Poly bushings, which is a love hate thing on here i guess. i just wanted to keep everything working how honda designed it to work, and thats with the rubber bushings. i have a rear sway bar, yonaka coilovers, good tires, new balljoints. all i have left are wheel bearings/ extended studs that i want to replace...
its up to you, but thats the route i chose
