Ok here are my questions, I would be greatful for any help that can be given(I have a 1998 Honda Accord EX 4dr 5 speed):

1) I'm a big fan of sporty handling and thus want to lower my suspension and change my rims as a first modification. Knowing a little about cars, I think I may be able to change the coil springs myself as well as the wheels. Is it worth it for me to attempt such ambitious things as my first real experience modifying my car, or should I spend the money to get it professionally done?

2) I also like loud music and good quality sound systems. The Accord I have has that weird over-sized radio and cd player. If I take that out, does it kind of have standard stuff behind onto which I could put a new unit?

3) This actually relates to #1, what brand springs are the best in your opinion and what is the real difference between different 18" rims? (I have a feeling that this question is what most will qualify me as new to the game, but please be understanding

)

Thanks for taking your time to help me out!
