Ok. I am in the process of getting a good commuter 4 door and had settled on a Honda Accord EX, but can't bring myself to do it and I think I can get a good deal on an 04 Arc. That said please confirm what I think I know:
1) Engine and turbo same as Aero just different boost? - If so simple ECU change would fix that -- or would a MBC work?
2) Suspension - I want 16 inch rims so thats not a factor, but since there is an independent suspension on the Arc what do I need to upgrade -- just stiffer springs and sway bar?
With premium package seems like the same car minus those awesome aero seats. I just want to make sure I am not missing something.
