First, read the forum for awhile and learn something about the car. It's not Cherry Red, it's either...

Cayenne Red (also known as Burning Red) (R-505P)
or
Milano Red (R-81)

The color code is on a sticker where the driver's door latches.

Congrats on the new car.

I would lower it first with either H&R Sports or Eibach Pro Kit and for shocks if you have the money get the Koni Yellows or if your more on a budget get the KYB AGX's after that you could get an intake, exhaust and header they have tons of choices but please dont put any of those altezza tail lights on your car leave those stock, they look the best.

Nothing wrong with a 4 door Integra...they still look nice. And getting an all stock car is not bad either. Modding a stock car is what HAN's all about.

and im not even sure if u can get a 4 door ls into the streetracing scene
If I were you, I wouldn't mention anything else about street racing in this Forum

...an option i have would be selling it and buying sumthin better
Be thankful that your parents even bought/gave you a car. A lot of people had to get their own or didn't even get one when they turned 16. Just be happy you got something and mod the hell out of it.

I'd start browsing the forum and learning about what people like and dislike about their current setups. Maybe create a post asking what people's suspension setups are and what the pro's and con's of it are and what they costed them in all, including installation.

After you've done that and you've kind of learned the kinks in suspensions and what makes them good and bad, then you can choose what suits your needs.

If you're in Anchorage Alaska I'd really doubt that you'd want something super low, for instance; that's the first thing that comes to my mind. So you need to think about what you expect to get out of it and when you expect to drive it, etc.

Do all that first, then weigh the pro's and con's and then make a decision and purchase something. Don't do what so many Integra and Car Owners do, which is buy something because it's the first "good" thing they hear of or see, and end up regretting it later because they didn't spend the time to research their needs and what the product provides.

whoaa u live in alaska from atl? what a change
why'd u move? hmm with alaska having a buttload of snow... that's gunna be crazy to slam ur teggy but maybe a mild drop will do...

u should cruise honda-tech.com too lotsa stuff to read about and stuff, iono if you're more into show or go. just get the basic bolt ons that everyone gets. There are a lot of websites that sells parts but....not to be rude but... in alaska are there ne aftermarket performance shops? lol
