Just do your research and ask questions before you purchase anything. It's best if you have an ultimate goal in mind...makes it easier on your pocket book.

Very important. There is a big different between the two and when you go one way, the cost and work put into it is not something you will want to undo.

Yes, figure out NA or FI before any power adders. FI will cost a lot to do right, but you'll get more bang for the buck than NA, especially if you are at a high altitude (I'm in Colorado and people are amazed when a GS-R can break into the 15's in the 1/4 mile!).

About the suspension... Don't let the body roll fool you, the stock suspension is actually pretty good. It's a bit de-tuned for safety, but that's a good thing, and it's still capable of doing more than the vast majority of Integra drivers will ever use. Unlike the engine, you can't just dump money into suspension mods and expect guaranteed gains. You have to upgrade the driver before handling upgrades are going to actually accomplish anything. In other words, the driver determines the performance. Aftermarket suspensions may <u>feel</u> better and more stable, but the car won't perform any better than stock unless the driver really knows how to use it. Some suspension upgrades will also make your car more likely to spin if you don't know what you're doing. Idiots who get the Type-R rear sway bar then drive like a total jackass and get in a wreck are a great example of that. It wont make the car crash on it's own, you have to make a mistake when doing things that you shouldn't be doing on the street. And inexperienced people make all kinds of mistakes and don't even know it.

Like what everyone said pick which route u wanna take and have a goal. As for me the first mod is gonna be a revhard or drag kit. I haven't bought much for my car as they're all going into the bank for the big picture.

U go N/A or u go Turbo! There are only a few things u can do till u decide, mostly just build the crap out of suspension. Make it ready for the power because everybody's furture plan is to go faster! right? alright well just think read a little on ur car see's whats good and see what can be lighter or more stronger built! Peace Out

Just buy a turbo. I did the whole n/a LS thing, I think I had one of the most built true LS all motors, and it still wasent THAT fast. LS is great for turbo, just use it.

Boost requires dumpling lots of cash into the car...

Just a footnote

All motor on an LS costs a LOT more then boost if you do it correctly.
