According to auto-modifications specialist Andy Williamson, suspension should be the first step you think of when deciding how to trick out your vehicle. Increasing your car's power is only advantageous if your suspension can keep pace with the horsepower boost. "If you can't get the power to the ground," says Williamson, "it's worth nothing."
In the premiere episode of DIY's Tricked Out host Andrew Totolos and guest auto-expert Andy Williamson take on an automotive upgrade project "from the ground up," adding a performance-suspension package to a stock 1996 Honda Civic hatchback. Andrew shows viewers how to get the horsepower to the ground by changing out the factory suspension with new parts designed for performance and adjustability. Finally, new wheels and tires are added and we put our modifications to the test at an SCCA race.
