As a safe bet, if your looking at upping the boost considerably, new injectors, valve springs and possibly a bigger fuel pump would probably complement it well. Go for a set of wheels and lower springs first though

yeah but how worn are they

if you wanted to get some hub adaptors engineered, my dads trying to flog off a set of 17x8 series 1 AU Tickford rims, with Bridgestone S-03's i think they are with pretty good tread for $400

I doubt a 14 inch rim would fit over his brakes, let alone look any good

yeah, i have some very good wet-weather yokohomas on the integra. very grippy even in the wet, apparently you can do 140 through a corner before they let go not sure how they tested that tho

well "corner" is pretty open book isnt it....but 140km/h through any sort of bend in the wet isnt bad any way you look at it
