Tips & Tricks For Honda Civic Modified

1. Coilovers with better handling

As previously stated, dealing with your 2016-2020 Honda Civic engine is not an option. This is particularly true in the case of the RS, which has a turbocharger, and you don't like to tinker with it if you don't understand what you're doing.

This doesn't mean you can't modify your Civic. Lowering it provides better handling characteristics, and there are many coil-over suspension kits available for fitting to the car's standard factory strut assemblies. 

Furthermore, you'll be able to adjust stroke dampening via the units' adjustable coilovers, as well as custom-tuned spring rates to suit your driving requirements. There are plenty of good reasons for having your Honda Civic customized - so long as you're prepared for a little work on the garage ramp!

Although the 10th generation Honda Civic is still pretty new to the car market, several Coilover options are available. On the more cheap side, we recommend the Raceland Coilovers (which begin at Php 21,000), and if you would like to splash, the Godspeed Monomaxx set (which starts at Php 41,000) or the Tein Street Advance Z Set (which starts at Php 41,000).

2. Sick wheels

The Honda Civics currently comes with a standard set of 16-inch wheels, but if you're hungry for more looks, go with the additional 18-inch RS version upgrade. Thinking of powder coating them in a different color? 

Well, then Honda Philippines has their custom Modulo line of 17-inch rims matched up perfectly to give your Civic the most bang for its buck. And don't forget that not doing so would leave you in hot water if you chose to strip down other exterior parts of your RS Turbo and wanted to use aftermarket rims that were incompatible with the original size!

3. Improved sound quality

Now, the Civic’s stock six-speaker set isn't bad when it comes to audio output. But you will want to upgrade things if you want to drown out more than just a few crowds at a parking lot party.

We suggest starting with an amplifier and an under-seat subwoofer for this. You'll need a 6.5-inch Infinity Kappa for the front since it will fit in the stock holes, a 6.5-inch Infinity for the back, and a Kenwood subwoofer for the under-seat sub, as well as a JBL amplifier.

4. Make it resemble a Type R Civic

And finally, your Civic begs for a bit of sprucing up. Looks are especially important in the world of automotive modification. Kingz Accezz Online, an aftermarket parts shop based in Quezon City can set your Civic up with a set of body and modifications to make the vanilla Civic E, S, or RS look like an even sleeker version of the Civic Type R. 

Type R body kits, Type R fender flares, a Type R shift boot, a Type R roof spoiler, a Type R hood, Type R side skirts, and more are all included in the set.

The Type R engine cover, a short ram intake, a bespoke strut bar, a blow-off valve (if you own the RS Turbo), and a hood damper kit are also included in this modification package.

These decals cost upwards of $150,000, but they’re worth it! They make your vanilla Civic look like a real Type R. So why not turn your Civic into something a little more special? Maybe you could try painting over these Honda Type R decals in another color to achieve a unique style or mix and match them with existing Honda Civic accessories to create the ultimate personalized ride!
