First of all, thanx for all the suggestions and ideas. Secondly, I have the say my 93 si hatch has never ridden so well. I drive at least 50 miles each way (highway) for work and the change is amazing. I have the tires inflated to 41 lbs. and even though Chicago roads basically suck, the ride has never felt so smooth. I recomend the Tokico HP kit to anyone looking for a more agressive stance and still retain some civillity. I may have lost a little bit of speed 0-60, but it sure feels like 60-90 has gotten quicker--I drive so much (about 400-600 miles each week just to-and-from work) that I average between 80 and 100 mph. Man, it feels quick, responsive, and much better than my sagged out original suspension with the stock 14's. Looks alot better too----the 17 inch Konig Tantrums just make it look like a different car. These are my first mods and it has really brought my hatch to life. In the future, I plan on doing full exhaust, brake upgrades, body work (getting rid of rust, dings, etc.), sway bars to stiffen up the ride a little more, and finally either a b18c swap or full rebuild of my d16z with turbo. As far as the engine--I keep flipping between swap or rebuild w/ turbo. I've got plenty of time to figure it out-----this is going to be a 3 yr project for me and by that time, I'll have about 170k on the car and will be more than ready for a power plant. I'll put out another post when I get around to the next step. Thanx again for all the input. E
