You're asking too much. Do the research and decide what you need or what you want.

They look fine to you? If they do, you belong in a civic.

what do you think?

1.) HKS-TI Hands down. Carbon Fiber vs Plain is up to you.

2.) Coilover or Shocks and Struts should get you a relatively simillar result, from what I have seen, Air Suspension will KILL your ride. I would lean towards coil overs as a buddy of mine had Tein Comfort Coilovers with EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) on his IS300 and the ride was better than stock...Wont be cheap though.

3.) Chip wont help you much without being F/I.

Just my humble opinion.

Im ignorant? look whos in denial with out any taste in modding cars what so ever. those rims belong on a civic, if you dont understand why, this proves my point.

i dont think the rims looks all that bad.. They just look small for some reason. Definitely wouldn't see them on a civic. Theyre 5 lug!

yeah i think ima go with the drop. i think it would look nasty. as for the hater i think ur the only one on team " lets hate on other peoples car" . as for ~df 350z ~ and all others thanks for the input. if i can afford it i wanna go with the Tein Comfort Coilovers cause ive heard nothing but good about those and for the exhaust i love the way the hks sounds but the thing about the tic greddy is the $$$ greddy is not cheap lol

I would invest in a set of 25-30mm spacers all the way around. the wheels themself look good enough, they are just super tucked in.

Dude, you're just gonna hafta accept that not everyone is gonna like what YOU do to YOUR car! If you want everyone to like your car, leave it stock. Your wheels are ok, the offsets are just wrong. Go get some spacers like Entaille suggested. As far as the other stuff, people are gonna make suggestions, but you're gonna end up getting whatever you have your mind set on anyway. Do what you can afford that looks good and enjoy it.
