The only way to really get much more out of this engine is forced induction, which will run you about $7500 when it's all said and done, if not more. A cold air intake and high flow cats will probably be your next best option, but you don't get 150+ hp out of that.

If you're on a budget, which it looks like you would be, I would suggest new tires, then sway bars, then coilovers. I believe you'll see the most benefit from that. Then move on to whatever you want next. You don't get much from the rest of the mods I see in your original post. Yea you do get some, but nothing as impressive as the three I recommend.

If you want basic mods and want to start with appearance i would get rims first but if you want to start with performance i would probably start with the stillen gen 3 long tube cold air intake which is $530 on the website.

As far as exhaust systems HKS is the loudest and most expensive and Greddy sounds deeper and more subtle. if you want loud look at the HKS full dual Hi-power exhaust but if thats to much look at the greddy Ti-c catback exhuast. do not upgrade headers and test pipes they are not worth it (personal experience) usually makes car sound raspy like a honda.

Then i would go with coilovers and get camber kits so your tires will actually last.

I would also look into the headlight mods that some of the members of this forum do but be careful because water gets into the headlights after you open them because it is almost impossible to reseal them perfectly

P.S. always keep all stock parts just in case!

I just hope you don't pay the prices listed. $990 FOR Tanabe coils, hell no, that's the MSRP listing price. $400 for sways, not but cheaper elsewhere. Look around and do your research. Deals are out there. I know where you can get the coils for $834 and the sways for $363 shipped. PM if interested
