you gotta take a drive with me bro..
after a drop and a little suspension manipulation (tightening everything up) it's a much nicer ride..and i've got a long way to go yet..struts/shocks, bushing kit (waiting for the Energy kit to be released), lower front X-bar, rear upper maybe..

bumps are harder but the down-swing is tight and easier to control..way better than stock setup..

btw..welcome to the forums!!

thanks dude.

I've been lurking forever

I've had this car since, hm, last August....... it's been an problem free ride, and I'm very happy with that.

was kinda pissed I had to give up RSX, but now I think about it, it was for the better, I wasnt wild enough to pay nearly 8000 per yr in insurance anyway.

Insurance companies

anyhow, it's basically a same chassis, I'm looking forward to spring and summer so i can start slapping stuff onto the ride

RSX sway bar is 1st on the list

front or rear??
LX didn't come with a rear did it..??

ya, a ton of stuff is becoming available..
i'm looking at the "true" rear cinch kit somewhere down the line..but the *** really grabs nice with slight camber so it's not high on the $64,000 list

i look forward to comparing notes with ya

Yes, I am pretty sure LX came with it. Only DX didn't for '02.

same one as the Si Mark?? (on the rear..)
the front is 3/4" isn't it, where the Si is 1"??

i gotta re-tune the brain cells...
spending too much time trying to find new ways to spend the $$

LX did, but I just want to switch to RSX rear sway bar...

and maybe neuspeed strut at the front...

i'm not too hot about headers and intakes, which barely make dent on the powerband anyway.

waiting until more kids crash RSX type S....

as for stiffness, yeah, it's somewhat harsh over bumps, but very easy to control. me likes.

Yeah .. I got the LX coupe 2k2 .. super car .. no problems yet.
They raised the price a few hundred bucks .. mine was 18100 .. but they did add new gauges and stuff. I went with black since the LX doesn't have matching side mirrors. But the black on the side mirrors aren't really painted black anyway .. so whatever your preference.

Can't go wrong with the Civic.

mine was a tick over 19k, and 22-3k total due.

anyway, I dont mind the black sideview mirrors, I'm looking to add a pair of EU/UK coue mirrors that are colormatched and actually fold.

very similar to 2k3 SiR (Odyssey Jr.) sideview mirrors
