Re: what should i do?

I'd say lsvtec, gsr, itr, or h22 all motor, but I am biased.
As for suspension, it depends. Is it going to be a daily driver or drag only? I'd recommend a drag suspension from OMNIPOWER if you're serious about racing. Most off the shelf springs are anywhere from 100-200 pound springs. Their's are 12,000 and 10,000 pound springs...optimal for drag, but harsh as hell for daily driving. But, if you're car is like mine and the rear end dips 5-6 inches between shifts, then something like this is the answer.

and so has everyone else and their brother with a crx. the possibilities are endless. make your own dream man its your car, you can be original or just buy what everyone else has. as for springs i like teins, but my friend pedro down the street likes the ebay ones. even walmart cant beat 5.99 a set.
