00 civic si multiple questions

[PimpinSol]

Alrite frist off ive got a 00 civic si fully stock never modified in any way i jus bought it about a week ago and it is my first civic. Im wantin to do some things to it.... (before i get n2 anything im goin to say ive tried to search and the search button is not working so believe me i have tried)...Ok n2 the questions im wantin a nice DD jus to have fun with im not lookin for this muscle car dominater jus sumthin fun. The b16 is quite fun already.

1) Ive only hit vtec a few times since ive got it and ive only revved to 7000 from what i hear thats not to hard on a b16 am i correct?

2) Im wantin to lower the car and i was looking at the Skunk2 Pro-S Full Suspension Kit would any1 kno if this is a good buy?

...yes i kno noob questions o wel jus lookin for some answers every1 starts somewere

if i'm not mistakin those are full coilovers correct?...if so i'd say unless ur planning on doin some auto crossing then its not worth all the money IMO...i'd just get a nice spring and strut package (skunk 2 is still a good choice) and go with that...maybe some LCA...a strut bar and a few other suspension pieces and u'll have a fun car to drive

yea they are a full coilover and no i wont be doin any autocross. thanx for the imput and ill look n2 what you said

i would go with the full coilover set up not a spring set you can't adjust how high or low you can go so i would choose the full coilovers.

and you can take the b16's up to 82 no problem the b16 was made to handle higher revs i woudn't get to excited witht the high revs though.

I was watchin a vid on youtube about that shunk2 coilover kit and they said the ride was actually kind of ruff. I kno youtube isnt the best place to get advice from but for $700 i dont wanna buy a bad kit. If you kno any other combinations or anything else that i should get instead let me kno what you would recomend. Ive heard that ground control mayb good. Im pretty much readin and learnin about what i would need to lower the car the rite way. So like i said any suggestions would help.

and with the revs that was a one time only. I dont drive that car very hard usually shiften btween 3-4k. im not much of the guy to run the crap out of sumthin. I take care of my stuff. afterall workin for everything you get with only a minimum wage job rite now (im still in highschool) you learn to to take respect in things.

yeah skunk 2 i'd prolly wouldn't go with them i was just saying a full coilover setup would be better i really like k-sport you can find them on ebay for about 600 and trust me its really worth it i mean you can raise or lower you car as much as you want and it will still ride really good.

[PimpinSol]

Yea i will look into those..thanks for the help..is there anything else i should look into buying to complement the coilovers or will i be able to buy those and install and be set..of course alignment and things are needed i jus mean in general

[dmbef9]

i'd prolly go with a good control arms such as function 7 and maybe a asr sub frame there kinda spendy but there sick as hell. but look into it and decide for yourself. and lmk what you do.

[thetunersource]

sounds like a good set up

[PimpinSol]

dmbef9 you have been a great help and ill greatly look into your choices..as a matter of fact i looked on ebay i beleave last night and there was no one selling those k sprot coilovers, maybe later tho...Im gonna do alot of research like askin people on cardomain how they like there setup and ill see what theyve got..and make my decision based on all the feedbac..ill deff let you kno

Thanxs again
