Hi.
I'd really recommend getting your suspension sorted first, so that when you put a motor / lsd and such in, it's going to be a tight package. Stock suspension and brakes sucks.
So, what i'd recommend.
Front:
AJPS AE86 Coilovers -
$850 for base model
up to about $1600 / 1700 for shiny bling bling Bilstein insert fitted, Cusco camber topped, flat thread coilover sleeved badass pieces of kit. AND THEY EVEN HAVE A STICKER ON THEM. A STICKER. oh, and your cnoice of spring rate. on the ajps motorsport spring.
Upgrade your brakes at the same time -
AE86 Aussie
or
AE86 JDM Vented
or
FC RX7 4spot + EG Civic rotor + AJPS Adaptor.
THEN - the other stuff.
Corona control arms - for more track and camber
RCA's - to bring your control arm back to normal angle on lowered vehicles
Cusco power brace - to take the strain off that flimsy rad support
Rebushing / new ball joints.
power steering arms - for more lock
AND OR
AJPS lock spacer, for even MORE steering lock
and a strut brace to stiffen the whole package up a bit.
Rear:
AJPS Motorsport springs
Then shocks to match your fronts -
KYB's,
TRD's
or Bilsteins.
And an adjustable panhard rod to center it.
Sounds like alot, but we do some mighty good deals
This way it's all sorted in one fell swoop, no getting stuck with junk you don't need after you decide to upgrade again.
With your next installment -
some fat jap 14 x 8's or 15 x 8's (all down to your tastes)
decent tires
Motor of your choice? 4AGE bigport is probably best for your budget. I'd recommend getting a halfcut if you're doing it yourself.
JDM T-series (disc)
Aftermarket LSD (factory ones are junk by now)
Steering wheel
Seats
+ all the other shit i've forgotten.
From there you've got a pretty well sorted all rounder.
Shoot me a PM, i can give you a quote on the suspension side of things and hopefully answer some questions you may have.
Regards,
Josh
AJPS Team.
