i have to spend on a 5th gen dx coupe everything is stock
i think i will spend about $1000 on wheels and lowering it but not sur the best way to get the best out of my money any good ideas.

In the latest Super Street you can get 17" Aerospeed wheels (they look tyte) for $599 w/ tires (205/40/17)

I would look into the quality of Aerospeed first though and what tires come in the package

I would grab a set of Ground Control's and Koni Yellows or Bilstein HD's or a set of true coilovers....

And a cat-back.

That should about be the $2,000

for rims get: 12lb 15x6.5 or 16x6.5 rota slipstreams at modacar.com with Khumo tires for like 740.00, then you can get some Groound Controls for like under 300.00. the rest will get you a intake,exh.,and header.

5th gen probably has some miles on it, and it's a dx. Start pricing a swap. You don't have to get an H22 or anything way expensive. But for 2000, you are well on your way to a B16A. I wish I would have went that route. I have a 94 EX with 111K miles now and lots of mods but I'm still slow. However, rims, lowering and exhaust are very tempting....I know.

Whatever you choose good luck!

i agree on pricing a swap. i wouldn't get a single bolt on until i swapped it out if i were you. rims, coilovers, thats fine, but don't waste money on teh weak ass engine.

you can get a h23 block and completely build it up with performance parts. it will prolly cost around 2k. then u can sell your motor and use that money for whatever u want.

1. Swap - will net you WAY WAY WAY more power and driveability and steal and I/H/E.

OR.

2. Full coilover set, and wheels/tires. Say, some Rota's or Kosei's cuz they are cheap and good looking, and some Kumho's. For suspension, a Progress Auto full coilover system would be SWEET.

They have the best prices on wheel and tire sets. 17" will run you around a grand and then I would get intake, header, exhaust. Should put you around $2000.

I just got a grand and I am getting coilovers, z3 fenders, and spoiler.

 

[96-v-tec-si]

SWAP B16A
Wait till ur next 2 grand to do the rims, suspention, etc.
Trust me, if I had all the money I had in the first place and spent on all that crap that gave me 2 extra HP, I woulda thrown in some extra dough and did a swap.


Swap first -----------> then bolt ons.
Enigine First --------> then cosmetics.

 

[OhSoFast]

If I had 2g I would dump into my engine - or save a little more money and buy some nice ass rims.

 

[Johnny Tran]

Swap...Trust us we all have been there...I had a 95ex B4 my Si.
Tust me the b16a is much more fun Also everyone and their mom has wheels, and suspension. Do that last.

SWAP!!!!!!

 

[Civic_Grl_Rcr]

....everyone and their mom has wheels, and suspension.

SWAP!!!!!!

So true....

 

[kRaZiEwHiTeRiCe]

Get a swap.... once you get it you will be asking yourself why you didnt do it earlier.

 

[RageAgainstNate]

I know everyone is b16 this, b16 that. But I come from a diffrent light, my path for you is a d16y8 ot of a 6th gen Ex, it will run you in the lines of $800-1200. I know you won't be a speed demon out of the box, but that engine holds unlimited possibilities. Than you save up some money and you can turbo it with an intercooler for around $2000, and that will give you 14 sec runs. then you can start to build it up and some day you could have a SOHC in the 11's.

$2000..................

holley hooker headers
greddy evo
venom fuel injectors
venom fuel rail
venom 400
aem cold air induction
carbon fiber tails
maybe some rims

 

[Civic_Grl_Rcr]

Why all the fuel application parts? Why more fuel to a DX motor?

 

[cr00klyn718]

SWAP!!!!!!

AMEN!

 

[LX98Civic]

Re: $2000..................

carbon fiber tails

Anyways

I am glad I have went the route I have so far (even though I am not that happy with the drop).

Drop then wheels exhaust and then swap.
