Update:
Plans have changed for this car at least for now. This car is going to be my daily driver for awhile for one, I want to get a smaller platform to race, CRX or Del Sol come to mind.
I'll still be autocrossing this car maybe try an HPDE in it. At least until I get a house with a garage where i can park more then 1 car without relying on visitor spots.
So for this coming year my plans are to do some mild suspension and brake work, while still retaining from factory comfort for daily use.
I traded my old Stereo for some Eibach Springs, I believe they are the Sportline model which give about 1.7" drop. I plan to put these on some Koni Yellow's. Next step finding some? Anyone have any laying around? Or where is the best place to get these? I checked VaDriven and Honda-Tech there are quite a number of shops selling these. I hear the best thing to do for saving money is buy them used and have them rebuilt?
I also plan on at least changing out the brakes, some good pads, im thinking Hawk HP+ or should i stick with HPS? Brembo blanks they are like 22 bucks, why not? Speedbleeders, maybe some SS lines do these make the pedal to stiff?
Changing out the rear rotors because they are warped and some stock pads.
If I can, I'd like to change out the Rear Trailing Arm Bushings, mine are cracked and I'd imagine this is something that would affect such things as hard braking? Would like some opinions on what kind of bushing material to use.
Rear sway bar, I'm not sure if I should spend the money and go all out with the new ASR 32mm hollow rear sway bar? Would this be way to much? My alternative is to upgrade to the ITR sway bar which is 22mm Solid. From what i hear everyone says leave the front stock.
