Hey guys! I'm wondering if anyone can help me out on some great websites and also parts for my 2011 Civic Si Sedan. I want to get some coilovers, wheels, etc. make it look real neat and clean. I'm having a hard time on knowing what brands are great for certain parts such as suspensions, intakes, exhaust, etc. if you guys can point me to a website or throw out some brand names that would be great!! Thanks!

 

Exhaust - Invidia Q300 (great quality, good look and performance, sounds good and it doesn't attract unwanted attention)

Intake - Hybrid Racing (pretty much everything they make is good stuff)

Suspension - depends if you want to adjust (coilover) or just good looks with good handling and comfort. I'm not a connoisseur at all in coilover, I'm more of a Function over form, my personnal favorite is Tein S-techs on Koni STRT orange shocks/struts. Go take a look and chat with Redshift Motorsports, they're the reference for 8th gen suspension.

Wheels - It's really a matter of preferences and budget. If I had the money I'd have a set of mugen GPs but it's out of the question for me... You have to be more specific on your taste and budget so we can point you in the right direction.

 

^^^Pretty much sums it up right there^^^.

 

I hate to be the one to say this but a little searching will go a long way!

 

Suspension? Simple, buy my KW variant 3's with asr camber plates and custom spring rates

 

Probably the best suspension on the market right now!

 

Thanks for everyone's help and input! Also searching does go along way. I've done a lot of searching but I'm asking fellow si owners or people with more knowledge so I know what I'm searching for is something legitimate and not some cheap brand or what not. But def helps out from everyone!

 

The thing is that it all depends on what you want!

So I can suggest you Full Race exhaust but it won't be what you need...

What are you goals just making it neat and clean or are you planning on tracking it also?
This is the sort of thing that needs to be answered because all the suggestions won't do you much good...


For my personal opinion:

Intake : Skunk2 cause the design is a little better and it makes a tad more power then Hybrid Racing (no saying it aint good but they had issues with the intake coming off... their products are of great quality none the less).

Exhaust: Full Race/Thermal/Ktuned 3" exhaust... why for power and a better sound. Q300 is pretty much quiet like stock and the pipping is only 2.75" which equates to a lower power gain.

Header: Skunk2 Alpha which pretty much is the standard as it's the best bang for the buck period.

Suspension... this I don't know what to tell you cause I don't know what you are doing with the car.


I can go own but at the end you need to be more specific with your question cause if not you will get 100 different variations for it...

 

All of these decisions should all start with a few basic questions...

Are you looking for plug n play parts without tuning solutions?

Are you looking for performance, comfort or a certain look?

Everyone has their own opinions and tastes, also just about every combo of parts you can think of has been ran by someone. It all depends on your vision of the car and how much you are willing to invest.

My preference is:

Intake: Rick Spec'd CAI(3.5" and requires Hondata Flashpro)

Engine: FD2 or TSX 64mm throttle body

Exhaust: Tanabe medallion

Header: I went with OEM FD2/Type R 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, paired with OEM cat for smog purposes

Suspension: Koni Oranges and Tein H tech springs, Eibach 19mm rear swaybar
