Proud new owner 2013 si

[Glockcoma]

After many years of owning older civic hatchbacks from EF's to EK's and modifying them until my face was purple and wallet was empty, i am finally making the money required to own a new car. Of course with extensive time and love for hondas there was no other choice. So here i am!! i stumbled across this site doing some homework/looking for lower suspension and ideas for wheels (as i cant stand the stock 17's). Any advice is much appreciated!! Here is my ride........

Welcome and congrats on the new purchase!

16' or even different 17s would be ideal. i would like to go gold/tan with the black car i feel that will look good.

i was thinking the hfp suspension unless you guys can talk me into aftermarket. im worried i wont be happy with the .5 inches that hfp suspension lowers. i dont want to be slapping my subframe but would like to fill the wheel wells

and window tint is a must (not really a mod tho)

I have H&R Sport Springs going on my car which should reduce the wheel gap significantly.

you leave the stock struts and just replace springs?

Yes, there's no need to replace the stock struts when running the H&R Sport Springs.

how do you feel about the eibach? and how much does the body lower on average?

The Eibach Pro Kit drop specs are equivalent to the HFP suspension, about .5".

and the h&r is more than that?

H&r are good or get some eibach sportlines.. I had them on my 8th the ride quality was really good!
