Looking over the responses in this question here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhRfg... I can't help but notice that NO ONE says we are "saved by Faith alone" and that hardly anyone even mentions grace or faith at all. Instead there is a lot of "follow what Jesus taught" and "be a good person." I tell you, even as a Catholic I find this lack of understanding very disturbing.

I have a 95 Honda Civic DX Coupe with about 220,000 miles that is straight and clean and complete and has never been wrecked, one owner with a clean title. Also totally stock. I did a minor rebuild on the Engine 3 years and 40,000 miles ago.

I am about to do a complete overhaul on the front suspension and probably the rear suspension. The steering rack is leaking and 1 CV boot is torn, and the tie rod boots are destroyed. Currently the front struts are original and the rear have over 100,000 miles on them too.

At a minimum I am going to use an Energy Suspension Master Bushing kit, get a re manufactured rack, replace the upper and lower ball joints and all the tie rod parts, and install at least "better than OEM" shocks like low end KYBs or the Bilstein Touring on all 4 corners.

I am considering doing Eibach spring / strut Pro-Package lowering kit and / or the Eibach front and rear sway bar kit. I'm leaning towards the sway bars at least, and debating on lowering since I don't really WANT to go lower, just want better handling. The car is a daily grocery getter and it's primarily my wife's car and she could care less.

So, would an extra $300 to $500 for sport springs and shocks and $250 for sway bars actually increase the sale value of my Civic shell something somewhat close to the extra cost?

Should I preemptively replace my plug wires and ignition coils at 150,000 miles and / or how should I know when to replace them?

I'm about to do a 150,000 mile tune-up. I'm planning to do a Transmission Flush, oil & filter change, change spark plugs and replace valve cover seals (front is visibly leaking). At this point the engine runs great and has never blown a code.

I know that Spark plug wires eventually degrade and that coils will eventually fail. Should I just wait until the engine blows codes, or should I replace earlier?
