Hi all,

I recently bought an EK3 (D15Z6) with 280k kms (~174k miles) and got into modding it a bit and stuff so I felt like I needed some intel from people who'd definitely know more than me about Honda stuff.
I honestly don't know what I should actually write right in this topic but I really seek for some knowledge sharing and advice.

My Civic is a full stock LHD 114hp Sicilian Red Pearl (R500P) 1998 3 doors hatchback.
It got damaged by one of the previous owners so the bumpers are in pretty bad condition, has a dent on the driver-side door and the front end is a bit bent but I'll manage to get this fixed ASAP
The rear fenders are all rusty and crusty so I'm planning on getting them fixed and repainted with the original color because I actually like it even if my plans with this car include a red iridescent full body paint with some matte black engine bay and hatch interior

The first mod I'd like to install is a rear sway bar because I don't really like how it feels when driving around turns and roundabouts. Found some great reviews about the Whiteline Rear SB Kit. It's pretty decent price-wise and seems to get the job done pretty well so I'll get it pretty soon.

For now I'm trying to pick some 16x7 alloy wheels from Enkei / BBS / OZ collections along with performance tires (prolly some 195/50 TOYO) but I need to check steering clearance (I may actually look for 17in wheels if it fits without too much issues), any thoughts about that?

I'll probably make another thread with everything I'm planning to do on this car and listing all the parts I've got in mind for better guidance.

Thanks for reading my crappy introduction, can't wait to benefit from everything this community has to offer, and give it back :')


Yes, there are actually Opel Wheels but well, a friend of mine gave them to me because it had pretty bad tires when I bought it! 15 Inch wheels look ridiculous, don't they?
