Decision making time

basically, I have a limited amount of money here and I need to make a decision about what I want to do.

I have 3 possible roads to go down:

a.) Buy D2 coilovers and Rota's
b.) Buy springs and some 5zigen's or Mugen NR's
c.) Save my money, I'm getting engaged soon (if she says yes) haha


I had planned on autocrossing the fit so I'm thinking that suspension would be more important than flashy wheels. But at the same time, I will spend more time DD'ing the fit than Auto-x'ing. Lastly, modding cars is always a losing investment and I need to start thinking about investing my money to yield positive returns so I can secure my financial future.


please help haha. Thanks

shit dude if you aint got your ring yet then i would suggest saving.

my shit was expensive when i asked my girl.

but.............if you got a good credit. just make payments i was on a zero percent interest for 3 yrs. paid it off of course but it helps.

and then i bought all my car parts cash.


but i would just rock the d2's and rotas.

but i wouldnt get the d2's though because i never really liked the feel of them.

you dont want expensive wheels if you DD alot.

shit is a hassle to worry about.

save and get the ring first cause she might buy you car parts. that is what mine did.

i would save and just get lightweight wheels first. then go with the t1r strut and spring set. its cheap and is very DD friendly but it is also stiff for the occasional autox.

get d2's and better tires for your stock wheels. that will hold you over


find some used wheels that will help you out more than buying them new.

look on hondamarketplace.com
