Headers

I am going to buy some DC Sports Headers for my 2002 Civic Ex and was just wondering whether 4-1 or 4-2-1 would be a better and whether Ceramic Coating or Stainless Steel Polished really make a difference.
Also, which brand makes the best suspension kits, including coilovers and lowering spring etc.. Eibach, Tein.....?

ok well with the headers its not which is better. they are different. the 4-2-1 is better for low end torque. the 4-1 has higher top end hp. also tein is by far one of the best suspension companies out right now. but it costs money. a lot of money. H&R is top notch as well.

Personally, i would go with the 4-1 header, because as far as honda's go its all about top end

never heard of kamakazie and i would never buy them. i dont like no name companies that say they have more hp then a well known company. DC have great headers. but the best are the spoon headers which are 4-1 but they cost a little over 900$

Why would Stainless Steel be better than Ceramic Coating, weight...? Is it really necessary to go with stainless steel if I would rather chose the cheaper costing Ceramic Coating?
