45SET hasn't fired up at all champ, so there is no need to tell him to relax ;). He is just giving his opinion.

I am inclined to agree with the guy, he suggests a very good alternative. The parts you have recommended are a nice beginning but none of them are near the best, and they certainly aren't for everyone.

A car modified in the way you suggest would in my opinion handly poorly, be too quiet, and be inconsistent on track. Completely unsuitable for me :).

.....

what would be next for me?

i got wheels and coilovers

what should i do for handling mods?

also i got a cai would a header be worth it?

You're forgetting we are all Honda drivers.
So it's all ABOUT the VTEC.

Geeze, why else did we buy the car?
Certainly not for the light weight chassis, awesomely engineered motor from factory or great economy with a pinch of performance.

Noooo, it's all about the noise and fancy brand name parts.
So spending $5,000 odd dollars for louder VTEC sounds perfectly normal.

Fark corners, it's a FWD car.

hahahaha :p

In the area of suspension, take a look at Tanabe Sustec Pro 5's. If I had a DC5 I'd be getting a set of these. I found them when looking for new coilovers for my EG. My mate ended up getting a set for his DC5R and thinks they're better than his old HKS Hypermax 2's. And similiarly priced to the (overly expensive) Tein SS's. Win-Win situation.

JDM Concept sell them too.

best of luck and i hope it gives you the result you are after :)
actually i somewhat agree with those saying go suspension rather than power. you can spend a bucketload chasing straight line speed on your integra but at the end of the day - it's an N/A 4-banger, and you'll still get burnt easily by factory standard V8s, modern V6s and various modern turbo cars.

the area your car already excels in, straight from the factory, is turning corners and low weight. spend some money in those areas and it'll become second to none in handling :)

if you do nothing else for suspension i suggest - upgrade the rear sway bar (eg. whiteline one). by far the best value for money mod i've ever done to a FWD car

hopefully im getting my N+ installed this week. Im only going to get a toda header and exhaust - only if the price is a good buy. Dont really want speed, as i reckon the car is fast enough for sydney speed limits.

I'm also planning to buy a rear sway bar for my DC5R and i got a few questions;
1.) What brands should i look for?
2.) How much would it set me back?
3.) Where can i purchase it? If you could point me to the right direction...
4.) What sort of changes/improvements should i expect once i get it installed (In terms of control, ride comfort going down the drain?, stiffnes, etc)
5.) I was also gonna buy a Beaks tie bar, would it have the same effect? Was thinking its one or the other...or both?

Need some pro advice bro
