Read on the forum. Catch on and learn the car before it goes south. Everything that is on your mind now, has been answered a hand full of times. I did learn the hard way or the search button.

Enjoy the Evo!
When i wrote this in regards to the body kit i meant like front lip wise and i hate riced out cars none of my hondas were. i always kept it stock look with some lowering springs and front lip.. and as far as why i want a wire tuck and cosmetic stuff is mainly cause if i go all out and performance upgrades it will get me into to much trouble and for my job i can lose my security clearance if i get to many tickets. and plus i just want it to look clean.

As far as springs go, swift springs seem to be a popular choice.

What?

He wants a front lip, a cleaner engine bay and a small increase in power. He doesn't want to go 400mph - he was being facetious. What are you talking about?


1. English Racing - No better option in the northwest.
2. Ask English Racing
3. Do luck style lip, can be found in carbon and abs plastic
4. Cheap? Skunk2/GTworx/Hotchkis springs. Best performer would be the Ohlins R&T.

Mine is also a silver evo 8. It has Tein full coilovers for the handling. Cusco brace and sway bars front rear top and bottom for the stiffness. Seibon carbon fiber lip for looks. Replace the cams with 272 HKS and use Toda camgears. HKS bigger Piping , invidia test pipe and borla full exhaust change 1250cc injectors. For the powers. Kept the turbo and header stock Gives me 404 hp on dyno with e85. 340 hp 91 Octane. That's just give u an idea. Where to start.

In his defense i mess up the wording when i originally wrote it. it said body kit then recently changed it. I appreciate the advice i look into that stuff
