Josh I have to agree with everyone they are one of if not the greatest handling fwd cars of its time but Jesus they come with a price tag ! I personally think richglanzav has hit it spot on here ......... unfortunately the money for a decent 9 would get you a mint ek4, coilovers, big brakes, recaro seats, turbo kit and all the kit to run a safe 10psi which is gna give you a car that would eat any 9 (and most other stuff). Having an ek9 would be great but consider the other honda options of your after power for a decent price James
