good choice, I like my 93 lx.

What you should get depends on how far you want to eventually go with the car.

its my daily driver, so nuthin outrageous. buuut i wouldnt mind a lil extra kick to it. also, i wanna re-paint it candy apple red and paint the trim and bumpers black, but thats quite a bit more than a paint job. if theres sumthin else performance-wise im missin is wut im lookin for i guess

just get the usual bolt ones then, if that doesnt satisfy you, get some heads.

i got a list for ya

Cold Air Intake, Mass Air Flow Sensor, Throttle body, get some H pipes or X pipes what ever you prefer,(maybe a lil shot of nitrous might forfill your need for a little more kick).... um....for looks get some chrome pony wheels and a crowl hood, i think that'd look pretty sweet....

im looking at some lower control arms...is there a big difference from the original rubber bushingins and the urethane ones? are they worth paying a little extra for?
