About civic parts what brands are good and what to look for?
I am just started getting into imports. I have an 03 honda civic si hb. I need to know that best brand of stuff for my car. I know that there are millions and millions of parts for civic. So I need to be careful what I buy. I am thank getting new tires and rims first and then change the suspension.

Without checking to see which companies have suspension parts out for the new 03 si's, I direct you towards some pretty reputable companys. Koni Yellows are some of the best struts around. If you want coilover sleeves Ground Control is a good brand. For true coilovers go Tein. It all depends on how much you want to spend.
For wheels, it depends of the amount of money you want to spend. For light cheap cast wheels I like Rota's. For light expensive forged wheels I'd go with Volk, SSR, Spoon.... |

Well I might as well recommend some stuff too...
Koni Yellows shocks Tein, Eibach, or H&R springs Thermal R&D exhaust (cant beat stainless steel) Skunk2 camshafts and cam gears Unorthodox Racing pullies (AEM is ok for the acc ones) AEM intakes DC sports headers Optional honda parts and cant go wrong w/ mugen and spoon parts |
