If you had my car, what would you do?

[Horsepower844182]

Well I bought this for a daily driver (it's stock everything), but I wanted to dress it up a bit. Nothing too major, but I was thinking at least wheels and lower it a bit. I do miss my remote start off the Firebird though...

Wheel ideas? Ect?

[Mark]

I would buy some used 18in wheels and coilovers to start.

drop and rims, blacked out headlights and call it a day

[lilindienplaya]

Drop, rims, taillight/headlight overlays, a tastefull body kit and i mean tastefull, and a alarm i hear those are being stolen left and right here recently.

Minus the body kit. Save that money to buy engine modifications.

Are the D17A2's a decent platform? I'm new to the whole Civic world.

[iheartJDM]

coilovers, wheels, tint, hid's, i/h/e for the hell of it.. or even drop in a K if you want performance and have money for it.

here's a link to another thread for some inspiration pics

not really. unless you are wanting to boost it thats pretty much the only thing i see giving results from a single cam

[mikesrex]

just leave it stock and enjoy a nice daily driver.

[chaser]

Yeah, I agree with mike. Unless you've just got money to burn and think it's really that worth it, leave the car stock. I could see maybe wheels and tires, Possiblly a drop.... But I wouldn't go off messing with everything else, that's how stuff gets broken.

[killa_D]

what my post was deleted lol but seriously why do anything to it im with mike leave it stock if anything get some aftermarket coilovers for a better daily and that's about it dont even bother trying to touch the engine bay (honda) unless you plan on doing a swap.

[Horsepower844182]

yeah, I wasn't going to speed or anything. Like what was said, that's not really the point of the car. But I was kind of hoping for some wheel ideas maybe?

Any good ones out there?

couldnt agree more

[jeremys14]

wheels and a drop won't hurt a daily

[Matticus]

[mister_ej2]

yea leave the D alone.....but like everyone else...a good drop and personally I'm for the 15"-16" wheels but i think an em2 can get away with a nice set of 17's....what price range for suspension and wheels are you looking at? I know its a daily but budget or all out?

[tehcodeman]

check Edgeracing.com for some good cheap wheel/tire packages.

Like the enkei RS7 for 70-80 bucks a piece:

http://www.edgeracing.com/wheels/enkei_wheel/

I wouldn't spend a bunch of money on baller/lightweight wheels on a car that couldn't make use of them. Just go for looks. I'd suggest 17's and a drop.

[jeremys14]

those wheels are hideous

[tehcodeman]

those wheels are hideous

prolly why they're so cheap, lol. still some other good deals on there though.

[Mark]

The only wheels I would put on my car from that site would probably be the Enkei RPF1's. There are several S2k guys running them and they look good.

[tehcodeman]

Got my current Raze R74's there (TE37 knockoffs, I know).

Got my RPF1s' used from a guy on 8thcivic, but I've yet to install them. Can't wait to see if the 6 lb per wheel reduction makes a difference.

[mister_ej2]

yea rpf1's will look good on almost anything...good thing they will on ur em2 lol

but like everything...pay to play

[backwoods]

Function Form coilovers
DC5 ITR rear swaybar
Apex'I WS2 Exhaust
Function 7 LCA's
nice set of used Racing Hart C2's 17s or 18s
