Thread: beginner mods???

alright, thanks alot guys.

I will say I love tokico shocks/struts the blues are great as long as the drop is not low enough I think you can run s-techs on it but I can't remember the drop on those. the Tokico d-specs have adjustable dampening a little more priceyier and can handle a lower drop like 1.8 in the front and 2.0 rear possibly 2.0 in the front not sure though can't remember. but mind you with the adjustablity a half turn on a d-spec can literally be...

i think blues can handle upto 1.7 inch of drop. they are pretty firm shocks and you will get a good beating in the winter from all the bumps in the road, but they will keep the ride from sagging and looking bad. just dont expect the soft cushy ride the stock shocks offer.

i say full progress coilovers there not very expensive there extremely well built and they will last. at full drop the ride is extremely comfortable there really good coilovers.

^those would be the very last thing i would do to my car. for the most part those are just cosmetic mods, if you ever talk to the suspension gods they will tell you close to the same thing. but if your trying to make the guts of your car look good by all means get those bars. i think you would enjoy other mods more rather some silly little bars. like an intake or something

i would get neuspeed or megan racing upper tie bar and lower X brace for the front and for the rear an upper tie bar and a lower tie bar

get full coilovers so you can adjust the height to your liking. Good brands include Tein, Progress, D2, etc

Hot rod? I dont think you can make a civic a hot rod but I could be wrong lol Just put new springs, if he rode with the springs cut long enough you probably need new shocks too. Hopefully there is no undercarrage damage check the wheel wells before you buy it to make sure everything looks ok.
