If I were you I'd get aspec because it's cheap and it OEM. so you won't have problems with it. Or if you want something a bit lower mugen ss. Coilovers are cool but you must know what to do with them. If you do then Tein SS-p or Flex.

Well, an ideal setup would be going with full coilovers. If you want to purchase the spring and damper separately, I would go with Ground Controls and Koni Yellows or KYB/AGX.

As for an intake, the Mugen airbox makes the most power and in my own opinion sounds the best. If you are going for NA power, I suggest the Fujitsubo Powergetter. I love that thing.

I will disagree that the Mugen airbox makes the most power. The Mugen is nice, but not the most powerful intake for the RSX-S.

If the car is a daily driver, get the Mugen street coilover kit or the A-spec setup. Both are great for that usage.

IMO the best springs are the Tein S-Techs, and a Tein/Koni combo makes a great setup as well.
