So im getting another em2, not really what i wanted but hey what ever. I wanna make this one clean. Still fixing it up but want some opinions. So far ive gotten a black mesh grill and an alarm. My dad wants me to get a strut tower bar cuz it was hit in the front. I wanna get a decent exhaust and suspensionhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?p=2858484#). For suspension im thinking tokico blues and some springs. Anyone have any brands they think i should look into?

Oh i also wanna get some jdm foglights, but i dont really know where to get them at. I've looked on ebay but idk if those are like normal ones people get lol. Thanks

was it repaired properly as far as you can tell?
I didnt like the blues when I had them at all. they were extremly harsh with s techs But i hear the illuminas are pretty good since they are adjustable.

http://passwordjdm.com/index.aspx for some jdm stuff.. didnt see fogs tho

megan racing would be good for strut bar I think rms has them for around 50 bucks for the front and I think its 60 for the rear.

Springs struts all I have to say is go coilover on this one unless you cut the springs in the front the back will end up lower than the front.

I think Handaccessories.com still has side skirts for 255 instead of the 500 they normally are and get on this stuff now because it looks like some are starting to become discontinued

Raz - My dad's a dealer and we got the car at an auction front end hit for 2900, so its gonna be restored salvage title. Not too bad tho ill try to get a pic of it before and after cuz we havent even started on it yet cuz he's been working on a different car.

Hmm i was really thinking blues but now i dont know lol. By harsh you mean like a really stiff ride?


Cronic do you have the sideskirts on your em2?

tokico dspecs are good. 45 way adjustables. ive got em with sum eibach gt sportlines. stiff stiff ride. megan strut bar is a good deal. got a dc cs1 front strut on mine. just sum ideas. good luck with it.

looks clean now! i would just drop it and call it a day to be honest. progress coilovers are nice, not a bad price and ive heard they ride really nice

yeah it's needs an alignment. I'm pretty sure the hit went over the fender and hopefully didn't tweak anything, but the wheel does look a little off in one of thos pix tho

Ground Control coilover w/ Koni yellows are an amazing set up. Getting an exhaust its pretty pointless until you do some major engine mods or turbo. But the 05-06 rsx-s exhaust, modded a tad (extended like 4 in. or something like that) will look really good on it.
