Join my club!!! I just convince them that it's going to get better milage or parts will be cheaper if I do this.
"If I put on a cold air intake, I'll get better milage cause the colder the air, the better the combustion." or "I want to get some 15 inch rims cause the tires are cheaper for a 15 inch rim than they are for a 14 inch." You just need to do things like that. My next project... "Dad, I think I'm going to get some KYB AGX series struts. The car is due for them and they are cheaper than stock, plus they are adjustable so I can make the car ride softer(yeah right)." He hates the way it rides stock, he thinks it's too rough of a ride. He thinks it should ride like my grandma's Oldsmobile. Good luck... |

Definately do it right, do it once.
I have to redo my suspension over winter break :( Eibach sportlines should drop you ~1.8" and are relatively comfortable. |
Na screw all that. Save some cash and cut those things in half. :D lol J/K Go with the Eibachs, thats what I have and I wouldn't have it anyother way. :thumbup:

Originally posted by ManInCamo your dad thinks stock is hard? he would have a heart attack in my car. People compare rides in my car to rides in go carts |
Get a Tokico Suspension Kit... it'll cost you $400 bucks, has good quality, and drops it 1.5"
|
Another thing you might want to consider is that normal springs might not drop you an even amount all around (i.e. driver side might be slightly lower, rear might be lower than you'd like, etc). Might want to spend a little extra money on Ground Controls or Skunk2's :D

Originally posted by 6GenCivic My Dad was the same way when I was in high school. Now he has no say over it.:) My Dad thinks I'm nuts for wanting to spend $3000+ on an engine swap. kinda off topic... but where in houston u from? u lived there for 10 yrs... :eek: then i moved to cali. went to Hastings HS in Alief District and was on their tennis team. |
Yeah everybody in my car thinks I'm flying because my exhaust is "loud" to them, even if I'm only going 40mph :p
