Wow really interesting build! Especially love the ap racing brakes they like they belong in a GTR. Are you going to be participating in any Track events or is just to show whose boss on the street?

What springs did you use?!?! I honestly can't find any for this year:/
For the spring Front i use some e class spring and Rear I use FA1 tein and swift spring which similar long. I think best way is wait for coilover. BC racing has release coilover for our car.

The brakes are a little overkill, but not when you consider he'll be tracking the car. Civics haven't done that badly in racing...
The FC civic is a far cry from the eg/ek civic. No more double wishbone. an extra like 1000 lbs... They aren't comparable.

just... why a 1.5t civic sedan?

Because that's what he wants. We used to put up with this sh*t even with our Talons/Eclipses, that responded VERY well to performance parts... "Why bother with that piece of Japan econocrap? Why not a Porshuh or Corvette?"

Because it's what we have, and what we want to do. So just mind your own damned business... You also don't need the super-fancy suspensions to be competitive. Why do you think they get rid of it when they can? Regular stuff works almost as well. This isn't Formula 1... ;)

I rode in a turbo Talon once that had some minor top end mods that pulled extremely hard. I was very impressed.

It probably won't be long before you see 1.5T Civics on youtube with several hundred HP.

My old Talon would walk all over Corvettes all day long, drag strip and track. I did have a tad more than "minor top end" mods :p

Those brakes are just sexy! I'd be interested to see how this does at the track. Great work, very anxious to see how this car progresses.
