While my Mom technically "owns" the GS, I will be doing the work on it. And since my Civic Si is nearly completed, I am eager to start tinkering with the GS. However, is there any aftermarket for it?? What I have found so far seems to be extremely limited. I am merely looking for some bolt-ons; a little more power and not much more noise. Exhaust, a real intake system, shocks, springs, etc. No forced induction, no motor swaps, etc. although I love the thought of a turboing it Basically I am looking for any and all worthwhile upgrades, for all aspects of the car.

There is alot of aftermarket parts for the gs, but unfortunently it is all over sees in JAPAN or as I like to call it 6- 8 weeks.Check my sig.. It is possible to mod a first gen gs but it will be on the expensive side due to the fact that most of it has to shipped from japan.Civic, accords and the rest of the fast & curious type of cars can be easily modded by just going to your local ricer shop or discount autoparts , pepboys, ect.. You have to ask yourself how much do you really like your car and are you willing to pay extra for parts that will in most cases take 6-8 weeks to arrive at your door???It has to do alot with being exclusive and having a car on the road with parts you more than likely won't see on another car.I can tell you this, it's not as easy to mod as a civic.. hope this helps...

Thanks, that helps a lot. But what companies are producing products for the 1st gen GS?? And what should I be looking for, company-wise??
Actually my Si was built by me the same way: 6-8 weeks at a time . While the outside is stock looking, almost the entire interior consists of either Civic Type R parts (exclusive to Japan) or from Spoon Sports ( a Honda/ Acura tuner and builder of parts). And the engine going in is from a Japanese spec Integra Type R that thankfully is already here in the states.

Ken,

If you need brand new eibach springs and 4 brand new shocks, I have them available for 440.00+shipping. To make a long story short, I purchased all of these and they are still sealed. When I went to lower my car, I found out that my car was already lowered and has new shocks already.

Thanks Bryan,

Are they Eibach Pro-Kits?? How low do they drop the car?? And who makes the shocks??

-Ken-

Seize

I think Byran mentioned b4 that the shocks are KYB(?) As for the Eibach Pro-Kit. Iit drops the car about 1.2"

Hope this helps,

It's so smooth, I didn't even know I had a drop until my mechanic dismounted my springs, then I found out.

The kyb shocks are the best available shocks for our cars.

Yeah, and the only available shocks for our car in the US..

There is OEM lexus, but those can't really handle a drop compared to the KYB's.
