Default Need suggestions on what to add to my new gsr

Just recently bought a white gsr integra. I need thoughtful and intelligent suggestions on what I should add to my new car to make it stand out and go faster besides the basic cold air intake. Please feel free to reply with your own unique ideas

bolt ons really wont do much at all..
itll make it sound faster(just because its louder) but the gains will be minimal.

Do something with suspension...
koni yellows/ground control coilovers is always a nice upgrade.
add that to a type r rear sway bar, and youve got yourself a winner.

I would do bolt-ons first, regardless of the small amount gained...
I would also do suspension 1st, do it right the 1st time, I had to learn hard the 1st time...

Thanks for your thoughtful suggestions. I'm thinking of getting the jdm front end conversion with the Hid's and all, aem intake, and greddy exhaust piping and muffler along with coilovers. Interior shouldn't be too much trouble. I'm thinking all I'll need to make my car look cool inside is maybe a cheap racing steering wheel and skunk2racing shiftknob and maybe in the future some cool gauges. Would headers be a good add on? I'm also thinking cam gears...

In my opinion you should get suspension first. As for performance parts, search around for what works and what's pointless on stock cars (cam gears ).

Personally, I would leave the interior stock, JDM Front End will be nice, but I would def. start on the suspension, please do it right, my first DC a couple years back, I bought some $40 coilovers, killed shocks FAST, bumpy ride= ...

intake header exhuast. suspension is a very good suggestion. cam gears is a great idea. but just remember you get what you pay for. don't cheap out and try to get everything done at once for a low price. in the end it comes down getting it done right, or done right know. try to keep that in mind + keep her clean good luck

I agree with all of the above. I have a 96 GSR and LOVE IT! for the moment I have KYB adjustables and Eibach springs. The look is awesome. it lowed it 1.7" in both front and back. I have AEM V2 cold air intake and I am going to get some exhaust soon. I think lower it and exhaust will make it look and perform pretty well. if you get exhaust though get the entire system. you will be much happier with the result. Also a lip kit is a nice addition too because its not as bulky as a full body kit
