Default what goes first?

i would like to know more about the beginning upgrades for a 95 LS 2DR integra. my goals are more/less just daily driving but a solid handling car.

i suppose this thread could be directed towards most stock cars also.

*only thing i have done to the car is my buddy club 15x6.5 wheels and 205/50? or 55 - 15s. i dont remember. i can always check later.

I always say start with the rear sway bar... because its so easy to do, and you'll notice a difference. I'm not sure which OEM bar would be a step up for the LS...either a GSR or a Type-R.

After that, you can go with springs and shocks or with coilovers and shocks...but those are a more involved installation since they involve modifying or replacing parts of your oem struts.
