    i totally agree with the BlackZ, no civic has aftermarket parts for atleast 3 years anyways, so if you wanna do up your civic, its gotta be an 8th gen. but cutting your coils and throwing on 18s and a strut brace will vastly improve your cornering... but we'll have to wait for aftermarket exhausts and body kits tho.... so your saying a focus in 10 years will have less problems than a civic? we'll have to see about that in 10 years i guess... ;)

    the only thing that took 3yrs was the flashpro from hondata. There were multiple intakes, exhausts, coilovers, and header options in less than a year.

    i dont know about that webby, maybe for the SI or coupe.. but for my 01 DX sedan, it took awhile befor there were ground effects, header or SS exhaust... maybe it has alot to do with where I live and am willing to pay too.. eBay all the way !!! :D

    I'm referring to the 8th generation civic - 2006+. I ran 8thcivic.com, and sold aftermarket parts in the store. The Si parts are by far the main focus for aftermarket companies. The Si had those parts mentioned in the previous post in less than a year. Hondata had an ecu reflash available, but the full blown flashpro took a roughly 3yrs to be released.

    Ran into this article:

    http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120205/RETAIL06/120209878/1379

    Personally, this is quite a bummer. I was planning to go test drive and probably purchase the 2012 Si Coupe. No idea if I should wait or not. I'll hate myself if the refreshed civic turns out to be significantly better than the 2012 with a similar price tag. It's a different story if the refresh comes 1 to 2 years later, but potentially 8 months? That'll definitely be a mood killer.

    Merged your stuff with the larger thread on redesign info. If you're interested, I'd read back through a lot of the comments and articles posted previously. There is no clear answer at this point, but it's been mentioned the items they will be modifying.
