Default Are these good upgrades to start?

I have a 2002 accord coupe ex 5spd
I havent added anything yet, but i have a list of things i think will be good to start:
AEM Intake/filter
GReddy EVO exhaust
DC 4-2-1 headers
Eibach pro-kit springs
Some new tires (not sure what yet)
Any recomendations on the tires? and should i get sway/struts?
what do you guys think?

if your gonna get springs you should definately get new struts. your stock ones will blow out with the quickness

I would say not to go with the EVO exhaust, go with an APEX Worldsport exhaust or something along those lines

why not evo? Evo was the top rated catback exhaust in this forum according to the ultimate exhaust poll and also the top rated catback exhaust in other forums. I have yet to hear any negative feedback about the Evo......

3-4 years? Maybe cruising down the highway and not giving them any kind of workout.

Also, people have stated that since you have an EX, staying with your stock header isn't a bad idea. They are already a 4-2-1 design. The new header will probably net you some top end power and will save you a little bit on weight.

Nice to see a newbie looking to buy quality products for a change

All those things would be great. If you want a quiet exhaust though go for Apexi WS. You may be ok for a few years on stock struts with pro-kits since your car is so new, but if plan on flogging the car daily get aftermarket. Don't worry about sway/strut bars yet do those later.
