Sounds

Clarion Pro Audio DXZ835MP: Great head unit! It's got dual 24-bit D/A converters, 3 preamp outputs at 4 volts each, a separate aux. input hardwired to the back, plays mp3s, and has 728 different scrollable screen color combinations with 3 custom user settings! I chose this one because it was the only deck that had the aux. input without sacrificing the cd changer input.
CDT Cambria 5.25" I put these in Q-Logic Kickpanels and they sound really nice.
6.5" 3-way JBL Grand Touring Series: More clear than stock and doesn't distort with loud bass. These are in the doors right now, and they add a little bit of depth on top of the components in the kickpanels.
Eclipse 5 channel amp Very crisp highs. But be careful, this amp will only do a 5/4 channel configuration. Don't be a dumbass like me and end up not being able to run 3 channels when you want to.
JL Audio 10-WO This sub sounds really clean! It doesn't hit deep, but it's great if you're lookin for SQ. The bass sounds like it's coming from the middle/front of the car.

My Install Pics

Mods
Performance:
 Stock B18C1 engine: 1.8L DOHC VTEC

Suspension:
 Stock 14" rims
AutoX: 15" Bronze Rota Slipstreams on 205/50/15 Falken Azenis Pure Sports (Very nice wheels! I can easily put the car on three wheels on tight turns.)

Eibach Pro Kit 1.3" drop. Click HERE for pics before the springs.
 KYB AGX Shocks 4-point adjustable front. I replaced the rear ones because they blew out after 4 years of daily driving :( Now I've got Tokiko Illuminas, which make a squeeking noise on compression. Oh well, I just hope they last longer.
 99/00 Civic Si Rear Anti-Swaybar There was no huge noticible difference with the bar on because it's about as thick as a toothpick. I didn't get a chance to test-drive the car before, but I think there's a little less wiggling(sway) coming out of a hard turn. Stay away from this swaybar if you want HUGE performance handling. Otherwise it's a pretty good and easy upgrade for daily driving! Click HERE for parts list and pics.

Skunk2 Dual Bend Short Shifter/Shift Knob Good short shifter and the knob is pretty cool too! The knob is much more heavy than stock. I would also recommend getting some Energy Suspension bushings for this upgrade because the stock rubber ones are way too mushy for short shifting. You really need to have crisp transitions between gears. Note that when you install this shifter, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the shifter bolt on the bottom. This will make it feel hard to shift between gears. It needs to be a little loose for it to feel smooth.
Sparco Monza Pros: Looks great, leg and side bolsters keep the driver snugly in the seat, microfiber material is pretty nice.
Cons: Way overpriced, seems heavier than stock, sits lower than stock so that it is harder to see over the dashboard (if you're 5'-7"), the expensive brackets and sliders made it a real tedious pain to install. I've added 1" steel spacers on the bottom of the seat which help, but is still a little lower than before.
