Hey Guys
Heres a basic question for ya:
I have a 99 Civic Dx Sedan and am looking for some rims for it. What is the biggest size rim I can get without having to do any modification to the wheel well (i.e. shaving). Also I've been looking into H&R OE sport springs (Drop about 0.75"). How good are H&R springs and with that drop what size rims fit. I'm new to the forum and to the whole import tuner world.
Thanks for your time and answers

A .75" is pretty little. For me to tuck my tires (14" rims) I have to have a 3" drop in the front and a 4" drop in the back (approx).. You might want to get at least a 2" drop front/back and maybe some 16's. Bigger size rim wont really fill the gap that much because as the tire gets bigger you'll want more lower profile tires as well (so the outside radius remains about the same)

b18b are found on the latest integras (not RSX) not GSR nor type-R 140HP, and 124lbs-ft
Ls-vtec can be done on either motor.

The b18b is made from 94-up and has a slightly better exhaust manifold, and a slightly more aggressive cam.

Few questions:
Uno ~ If I bought my car from a dealer, then modified the engine, etc elsewhere, would the dealer's service department still service my car; and would they still accept my warranty on factory parts?
Dos ~ What sites offer some good pictures of exterior mods on Civics?
Tres ~ When (If) I mod my car, should I learn how to do it myself (are most mods that simple?) or should I pay the extra to get it done professionally?
