i dont think it would unless you want to get it tuned. if ur LSVTEC works right now the ways it is way bother switching the OBD (i assume your OBD0). but the hondata sounds pretty inticing. its up to you really, but hondata ecu is nice BUT well probably only work with OBD-1. so its up to you

difference between what?

OBD0 and OBD1....

OBD1 has more sensors and shit. hence the OBD1 ecus have better control over the engine therefore allowing tune-ability. OBD0 really means 0 On Board Diagnostics. you cant tune it

personally i think tokicos are junk but that has to be taken into context.

they are GREAT oem replacement struts, but they suck just as bad as OEM struts once you apply a coilover and lower a vehicle on them as they are not designed for that application.

koni Yellows ARE designed for that application.
kyb agx's are NOT but work much better than most alternatives.

wow this is the most intelligent post i've ever seen. toxico's are good struts but no name coilovers always seem to be a bad idea.

blues anyway. illuminas arent bad.


im running kyb gr-2's with omni power coil overs.


its stiffer than i ever want to be again. every fucking bump is felt, its harder on the front end and just a horrible ride.




but with rt 615's, my fucking god does it stick to the ground.
