These plans are just for helping you figure out which way to go. How much horsepower to expect and perhaps what category restrictions you might be limited too. For the hidden performance its for those that want to either look stock for just fun or to hide it from the dealer or anyone else. These results might not be exact , but these are tried and true real world prices and dyno's that provide the info. Also the parts used are just some of the parts that can be used. Of course there's more to add on to some or some can skip some and use some of there own. These parts were selected by there availability and popularity. More exotic parts and others weren't used since they basically don't do much or are really hard to get.




As For Suspension Goes its simple....pay more handle better.
Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV Stage V
Suspension Plan Spring Only
$100-200 Spring and Shocks-Non Adjustable
$400-800 Spring and Adjustable Shocks
$700 Coil-Overs
$1200-1500 Full Race Coil-Overs
$1500-2200
Explanation - About the suspension changes and difference in levels. Quick easy install , some kits lower too much for looks and you get a unsettled ride which isnt good for high speed bumps. Stock shocks will soon go. Now you have something to work with , even though they might be out of synch. This one you have a lot more to work with , you can adjust the shocks at least to try to match the springs and the car better. Yet still probably wont have a lot of travel, and you might just get a product that doesnt go well together These systems if really made for your car handle the best can be tuned like the stageIII but also have a bit more spring rate, ride height and travel. Which can help a lot. Street / Drag or Course Again just like stage IV but probably a higher known competition name or perhaps the shocks will have their own reservoir....which sometimes are controlled electronically from the car.



Brakes , bigger better stronger....pay morestop quicker.
Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV Stage V
Braking Plan Sports/Race Pads Only
$100-200 Pads and Rotors
$400-800 Sport Brake kit
$700-1000 Race Brake Kits
$1100-1500 All out race.
$1500-2000
Explanation - About the brake changes. Upgrading to more efficient brake pads, some might cause some sound or more brake dust so watch out. Slotted Rotors are suggested for Street Cars and race pads will do. Just make sure their not some crazy kind that need to be real hot. Also good to add race/dot4 brake fluid. Great for the street, possible new caliper, might need bigger rims. If your not really going fast then this might be overkill, but then again you might like safety. Also consider changing lines. Made for high heat all the time applications , more emphasis on cooling and anything to do to slow down. This is because on the track you are on the brakes a lot. The street you brake a bit and then cruise. Just like before but Anything from really oversized rotors & dual calipers .To materials made to handle anything. These kits will make any street tire the bottle-neck for braking faster.


[mod edit] No links to competitors sites please.

 

Ok, the page didnt come out as clear as I thought it would. Better yet, go to www. and click on PERFORMANCE. Neat stuff.

 

these seem like decent pointers and mod suggestions. I was confused at first while reading but then understood what you were doing. "5-10hp 1.6L Dohc VTEC can upgrade to a 1.8L Bottom end $1000" what is that about? And are the high prices at the end of each section a total? Thanks.

 

cool, I'm currently working on Stage VIII

 

looks like he copied this from an integra forum and it is confusing as hell. the "stages" make no sense, that or im just missing something

 

No, you're not missing anything. The post was designed to impress, not inform. It's not worth the time trying to understand it.

 

this doesn't amke any friggin' sense. mods please lock this thread so no members waste their time reading this nonsense.

 

yea wtf is the point in this thread? we need a noob to tell us how much the gains are when we alrdy know of it?

 

I am glad I'm not the only one wondering what the point of this is.

 

 

 

Yeah, Sorry, after I had copied and pasted it from another website where it is 100 times easier to understand it I had the website posted on this page, but they deleted it for the competition.
