I say a good suspension setup. Buddy Club, Tein, Mugen, something good. Don't buy cheap parts if you can help it, you will regret it later. Do it right the first time.

Goodluck bro

My first mods are always intake, header, exhaust. Though most will say go supsension first, that's right after those three.

Definately intake, header, and exhaust. If you can''t wait to get it lowered a little and don't want to shoot straight to coilovers (which would be your best decision) then grab a set of springs and throw them on while you are getting the rest of these mods done and then work on rear sway bar and full coilovers!

I loved the how the car pulled with just a intake and exhaust. Also in the future definately think about gettin K-pro and having it tuned. GL and congrats on the new purchase!

Depends on what your going for. Speed or looks. Speed/Power go with CAI/H/E. Looks- definately go w/ suspension the RSX looks like a boat with stock suspension on it.

What 18 year old can afford these $1000+ coilovers? Who really needs them? Nothing wrong with a good shock/spring combo: Koni, Tokico, KYB, etc.

I say get intake/exhaust, wheels, or shocks/springs. Doesn't matter which is first.

I think he has a base. Just saying $1500 for ~15whp (Kpro/tune) ain't a good initial mod.

maybe a HUGE wing that will give you a lot of rear DF on a FWD...that will make you quick Yo .....J/K
i would go with the suspension like Coils to give it some handling and to give it a nice lowered stock look!!

Get some koni's and some lowering springs, a clean set of rims(maybe used, check the FS thread or the MarketPlace). That should accomplish what you're looking for. After that, just get whatever; lip, Type R/A Spec spoiler, sway bar etc... None of that stuff will run you too much.
