  1. What’s up guys...I've spent some time reading through all the forums on all suspension parts... what they do.... how the work ...etc....I'm pretty educated now on that; however, I owned an Integra before my is300, and when shopping for parts the big question was reliability and truth to the actual performance boasting the parts proclaimed they had...i.e. some brands were really for performance while others were for dress up such as sway bars DC sports compared to Comptec etc...... My ultimate goal in the end is to have a daily driver with bolt on mods for increased torque and rwhp and (most important) handling to take mountain winding roads at increased speeds with no problem My plans include suspension as a first upgrade Before I start putting money into my is300 I would want to know what some of the better brands are...like for example TRD HKS Tein....and with my goals in mind what setups, parts, and settings (i.e. flex, rs, hyp II, stiffness settings ride height, mm thickness for sways and towers and under chassis stabilizers...etc...) what would be best to reach my goals. Im sure some of you have great setups with brands that work well and brands that maybe gave you some trouble if you could share the info that would be great.
  2. Need some help with a head light problem.....water gets inside...what the best way to get it out..even the condinsation...and why does this happen and what can i do to prevent it.
  3. the question is then, are there enough non-FI mods to add 75-85whp?
  4. I do have tourqe in my favor because of the inline 6...so increasing whp will also up the tq...so really I'd need more like 255-265whp maybe that'll be more reachable goal
  5. Had some questions about IS300 specs whats the whp on the stock is300? is there a way to get 290whp not forced and a daily driver? I ask because a friend of mine has a 91 civic hatch with a stock rsx type-s swap and I'm tired of being slower then him. I figure using the whp to weight ratio. His car has a curb weight of 2100lb and 180whp he's getting around .086 whp per pound. Earlier I asked what the curb weight of the IS is because I just guessed at about 200. Which means that with a curb weight of 3200lbs and 200whp I'm getting about .062 hp per pound. Do some math...... if I can get about 275whp I should be the same as my friend, 290whp and I'll win Hence the reason for the next question....how to get 290whp with reliability, a daily driver and I dont want forced.
