Re: mods (wingback44)
basic free breathing mods are usually a good start.
-cold air or short ram intake (under $100 with a K&N filter)
-cat back exhaust ($200-$450)
-others (header, high flow cat)
suspension mods are always
-coilovers ($500 & up)
-others (good spings instead of coilovers, strut bar, etc)
The free breathing mods will not add much power, unfortunately. Nothing too heart stopping. Suspension would be the first thing I would tackle.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do

Suspension first for sure an aftermarket intake will make the car a little more fun to drive (mainly because of the sound) if you have never delt with performance parts before.

Re: (00Accord4cyl)
depends on how much you want to spent and if you have any goals in mind. you get what you pay for. for example some advertisements will say that their intake will yeild 10-15hp. bs. you will be lucky if you got 5. exhaust same thing. they will report 20hp gains. bs. lucky if you got 5-10. dc header, same deal. may say 15, you may get 5-10. dc is only a few notches up from stock. reason why it is so popular is because of the price. if i had to do it over, i'd stay stock till i got the ends for a better header. your internals with start it all for you though. cams, better header such as smsp, higher compression pistons, ecu/fuel management. hell you can throw in a port and polish, smoother air flow. the better your motor breaths in conjunction with tunning the better you mods will perform.

Re: (wingback44)
Major engine mods:
-Swap in an h22
-Boost the F
Minor engine mods:
-Cold air or short ram intake (AEM, HKS..)
-Header
-Catback exhaust sytem (Apexi WS, RSR Exmag)
Suspension mods:
-Coilovers or springs/struts
Coilovers are more expensive, unless you're going with ebay crap, DONT. You could also check out omni power coilovers, cheap and not too bad.
Springs and struts..some to look into, H&R, Eibach, etc. springs. Sturts, Koni yellows, KYB AGXs, etc.
Check out the "guide to basic accords".
