I’m looking at my next upgrade for my 11gen civic si 26. I want to upgrade wheels and tires with 18x9” upfront and 18x9.5” rear with racing Bc coil overs and I am looking for recommendations for the remaining parts that should be considered upgrades also what stabilizer is recommended for the front and rear suspension

If by stabilizer you mean sway bar, the front is wholly unnecessary on this platform, but rear sway bars are lots of fun with liftoff oversteer. The single most beneficial and fun mod I ever did to my old sport hatch was a rear sway bar. I ran a 22mm whiteline one.

If my stabilizer you mean chassis bracing, thats a mixed bag. I had really good luck with the PRL rear strut tower bar, but the front stuff and other chassis bracing varied for me. It's all about feel tbh.

I'd also get some adjustable end links for the front and back of you plan to lower. Honestly adjustable everything will make your life easier.

Lol terminology in the car community sucks, what do you want this stabilizer to do? Where does it exist on the suspension 🫪
You have on front and rear stabilizer bars on the front steering stabilizer on trucks and rear stabilizer for removing the sway in the corners

Depends on how crazy you want to go.

For my Si, I had:
Silver's NeoMax Coilovers & Endlinks w/ Swift Spring Upgrade (10k)
27WON Front Strut Tower Bar w/ Brake Brace
RV6 Adjustable Rear Lower B Arm
RV6 Adjustable Rear Lower A Arm
RV6 Adjustable Rear Sway Bar & Billet Endlinks
RV6 Front Compliance Mount
RV6 Rear Knuckle Spherical Bearings
LTLD Front & Rear Stabilizer Links
PRL SRS Front & Rear Collar Kit
Whiteline Front Roll Center & Bump Steer Correction Kit
RV6 Rear Trailing Arm Spherical Bearings
RV6 Front LCA Spherical Bearings (Prototype)

I wanted to incorporate some chassis bracing from Ultra Racing, but I never got that far before I sold the car. As the car stood, it was on rails and genuinely surprised me at how planted it was.

You may not want to go that far though, and that's okay. Having good tires, coilovers (don't forget the adjustable camber and toe arms), strut bar, and a rear sway bar will do lots for you.

Thanks so much I appreciate you sharing this information and I want mine to be perfect
