My new civic

[chano]

Hey guys I want to start working on my civic,I have been looking around for parts but don't see much any help? Am looking for lowering springs, lighting and maybe a brake upgrade thanks

Welcome to the site! H&R has springs listed on their site, but I've not seen any installed at this point. Eibach is working on some, and test springs are out there. Honda should have the HFP suspension out very shortly. It was announced at the beginning of the month at the Sema show. Lighting - are you referring to HID lights/retrofits? There are people who've done both here.

where could i get some good HID but That Does not hurt the pockets

 

[webby]

ebay would be the cheapest plug and play hid kits available.. there are probably a number of brands under $75, going up to ~$200. A full retrofit from an oem projector would be roughly $600+

be warned that the cheaper you go, the shorter the lifespan will probably be on the ballasts/bulbs...

 

[joker2266]

be careful on ebay some people will jst sell the bulbs itself and not the converters make sure you read fully. What wheels you lookin to get. Corsport has a few things out now and pro civic. Some dont like to use pro civic cause they can be slow but i havent had any issues with em. Good luck on the modding its such a mad addiction. I cant get rid of my FA now that i put so much $$$$$$$$ into her :-P

Nice car man! Id recommend doing a projector retrofit. I think you can get the mini H1 projector "kits" pretty cheap compared to a full on deal by the guys at customlightz. Although CL does do a sick job. What's your budget?

Getting wheels for that LX?
