I've got a 93' LX. It has'nt had much of anything done yet, just G3 Altezzas, and an HKS HiPower muffler, and I'm getting some Gunmetal 10 spoke rims at the end of the month. I want you guys opinion, should I get a Kit or not. If so, which one.::question

i say yes if its a wingswest bigmouth type 2. damn i love that kit. so clean and simple, plus you dont have to worry about scraping it for two reasons... 1) its pretty close to stock height and 2) if u did bottom out, its urethane so you dont need to worry about it

eventually i plan on getting this kit. but i guess what kit you get it up to your taste and opinion on kits. but key-toe, if it was up to me, i would go for the bigmouth... unless you want a 4 piece (or more) kit?

I think it depends on some factors. What are the street conditions, how much do you drive, HOW do you drive, and what you like. I am going with a full kit, because I wont drive the car too much, but when i do drive it, i drive carefully. Plus i like the kit that i chose, and i will show it off at car shows.

You know, i drive pretty fast. and the roads here in Cali are always under construction, so I don't know. There is this guy who wants to put a Full Extreme kit on my car, but he wants $725 w/ out paint.

i say if you get a kit, go urethane, you won't regret it. or just screw the kit, get a clean paintjob and go all motor. i should know. look at my car. i have a kit (bought for $510 shipped w/ my hook up) and i got my car totally repainted, full color change ($1700 WITH a hook up). dude, that's ~$2200. that's your motor swap. i try as hard as possible not to crack or scratch the kit, but it still happens. i've had to fix my kit 3 times now. it's not fun man. if you're gonna get a kit, make sure you have good clearance if you're goin' fiberglass, or else go urethane, trust me on this one. or just get a lip kit. but personally, i think i would have gone the motor route.

i had the same question a while ago, but then i decided that i wanted a LOT of looks and stares. I was all JDM-ish before that wasn't getting me much attention. I went with the WW BM2 front end, Erebuni Sigma sides and Erebuni sigma rear LIP b/c i don't like any of the rear bumpers mad for our cars. It really sets the car off and is subtle, yet kinda agressive. Check out my page and you'll see for yourself : http://www.cardomain.com/id/highrevs22
