We Put $4000 Suspension on our $500 Civic

Our $500 Civic handles like linguine, so we decided to give it a little love in the form of coilovers, strut tower bars, rear brace, and rear sway bar.

So happy you guys are finally building a Honda! As a B-Swapped EK owner suspension was one of my first big upgrades and I was in a very similar boat with worn out parts. I would love to see the braking system gone through in a future episode. Mine at 250k miles had black fluid from disintegrating master cylinder/caliper seals. Brakes were first upgrade/maintenance item. Rear disc swap, new calipers, rotors, pads, brake lines, master cylinder, fluid. Made a huge difference in braking feel and confidence. Also would love to see some old school b-swap action.

[@psychosis7325]

Couple notes for the kids at home: Do not use an impact wrench to tighten bolts to final torque, is almost no cases where its a good idea and you should zip it on lightly and finish by hand... Also when replacing most suspension bushes its a good idea to only lightly assemble them and then lower the car so weight it on suspension bringing it to ride height before tightening. They're using mostly spherical bushings that are self aligning but other types you can have issues with binding where if tightened when fully extended will be over stressing the bush at full compression and it will fail prematurely and not preform as it was designed..... Most good alignment shops will have a 4 post hoist to make tightening at ride height easy ✌ do most at home and trailer it in and have the lads put the final touch on with the alignment.....

[@5PYZ3R]

It should already be on jackstands if you don't have a lift, so use your jack to raise a tire until it barely lifts off the stand. That's your ride height / preload and you can tighten that corner.

[@ColoradoStreaming]

I learned long ago that impact wrenches are only for taking bolts off. Its always worth the extra few min to not worry about cross threading something trying to zip a bolt on.

[@zigmeisterful]

As long as you're careful and paying attention to what you're doing, using an impact to snug your bolts up isn't that big of a deal. Don't break out your 1000lb impact to do it either. I have a nice little dewalt 120lb battery powered impact that will make sure I don't go overboard with snugging things up.

The EG is such an incredible platform! I've been a diehard Mopar guy forever (my first car was a 72 Challenger that I still have), but when it came time to buy my first "practical" car, I went with a 92 hatch, because I wanted a car that got over 40 mpg, super reliable, easy to wrench on and large aftermarket support. Over the course of 6 years I put over 200k miles on mine and absolutely loved it! And whenever parts wore out and needed replacing, I upgraded to high performance parts, because in comparison to what I was used to, they were really cheap. And I have to say after I went through and upgraded the brakes, suspension and a bit of performance upgrades it was a great little go kart.

I remember running custom ground control springs with Koni Yellows on my '99 Integra. I had pretty insane spring rates, I think 350lb up front and 450lb in the rear, no sway bars. Thing was a beast, immediate lift throttle oversteer. I remember when I had H&R race spring with no bumpstops, my upper a-arms started hitting the chassis in the wheel well. No fun. I even had aftermarket angles upper a-arms. Good times, always wanted a Civic hatch, that's my favorite color. I would never advise a FWD noob blast down a canyon in an oversteer setup Civic. Literal lift throttle oversteer, most "racers" aren't used to it.

[@Alakay77]

When I was 17 I owned one of these. I put an obnoxious sound system in it probably worth what I bought the car for. I installed a copious amount of bright blue LED strips throughout the interior to match what was left of the blue paint on the exterior. I had 3 near misses in it: 1. I was driving down a dirt road with the car full of people. I wanted to show off and have some fun so I started whipping the tail out around some corners. I went too far, then over-corrected and skidded straight toward a 3 metre drop. The car stopped with one of the front wheels fully off the drop. Someone in a van towed us out. 2. I was driving home at 3am down a windy hill. One of my rear tires was very flat, and I knew that. But I wanted to see a girl, so the reward seemed to outweigh the risks. I was turning a corner and must have rolled the tire. The back of the car started to slide toward the slope next to the road but somehow the car straightened out. Got my tire repaired soon after that! 3. I was racing down the highway in my hometown, mostly down hill, so I'd been using the brakes fairly heavily. Got to a small roundabout where I needed to give way to a car coming across it. My brakes failed due to heat and the pedal went straight to the floor. That was the scariest thing I've experienced in a car. Wow, I was young and dumb. I do miss that car though.

It could almost make 140 mph, (I got to 138 flat out on highway 99 heading into Nevada) and it would accelerate like nobody's business. I called it "clear the console mode", everything in the center console would end up in the back seat (like instantly!). I get the attraction. Wait till you put some ponys in it.
