Re: Best upgrade for money JDM B16A
little ruff, 1 1/2 drop, maybe cause i live in jersey, which i think is the pothole capitol in the world.
Any ideas on any other good upgrades, looking to get some DC Sport headers, anything else comparable that doesn't cost as much or is DC sports the best to get

Don't get a DC header, they are crap. They are for show, and don't give you much over stock at all. They are more of a fad. If you can get your hands on one get a itr.

when i did it, i didn't find it very difficult at all.. took me about an hour.. do a search on google for some DIY's there are a few out there that really hepled me quite a bit... i think it's easier in 3rd gens as well... i got to rip out my whole center console  i had to modify my heat shield a bit too (most likely because of cheap kit) but that just required a piece of metal and a few bolts.. nothing too difficult... definitely something you can do if you can get under your car(jack/jackstands) or just drive up on wood planks.. that's what i do.. pain in the ass but it works
