figure out what you want out of the car (better handling, looks, power). then search on those premises and go from there

get some espelir springs from gtmotoring. they gave me a good deal on it. its a nice drop and its stiff. just pm them.

most people would tell you to get gears because its one of the best cheapest mods to gain throttle response and torque feeling for your car.

test pipe is good too. free up some backpressure. its cheap.

I'm not a big fan of just throwing springs on. They're usually not matched for the stock shocks, and can cause premature wear.

Only reason I'd consider throwing just "springs" on is for cosmetic purposes. There are better things you can do to make the handling more crisp before touching the shocks and springs.

I would say get espelir asd springs spoon xbrace test pipe and a decent single exhast exhaust some sort of intake would help too and maybe tires if urs are shity. All these combined will make ur car feel a lil more alive.

I would also suggest gears but I have no experience with them yet so not trying to give advice about something that's not on my car.

Guess I'll be the first to recomend gears then...
I got 4.56 for my car, and it feels pretty good. The car is more fun to drive, and you can really feel the difference allot more then when changing your exhaust and intake.

Easiest & cheapest option is to spend $30 buying a ticket, or a bunch of tickets if you are feeling lucky & spot the ball for your chance to win a 700whp fully modified s2000 (check my sig)

Other than that if you want people to chime in and help you out with mods you need to provide more information - how much are you looking to spend, what purpose do you want the car for (daily, weekend, track etc) and what part of the car you are mainly looking to improve (most important if you are on a limited budget). With all that info it will be easier for people to give you advice and it will be more worthwhile. Other than that search around the forum as there is a lot of good advice on here.

gears do make a nice difference in the way the car feels. I had 4.57's on my ap1. But, it does make a lot more noise compared to the stock gears, so that is something to think about before you have them installed.....but my j's 60rs fixed that problem for me.
