Right now I have an AEM CAI. Waiting for my Apexi WS Exhaust. Planning on gettin my JDM 4-1 Header with carsound cat.
I don't really want to do anything major to my car like cams, cam gears etc etc I just want to keep it simple. Here's some future mods I have in mind but I need help and opinions on what to get for street.
Engine: ???
Suspension: Rear ITR strut tower bar, Tein HA coilovers
Rims&Tires: Maybe volk Te-37 gunmetals with S-03 tires if I have money left over. Probably one of the last things I would do.
Brakes (Front): Calipers, with endless pads. What kind of calipers should I get? What type of endless pads? Do I need to get rotors?
Misc: Do I need a oil catch can or breather for my intake?

Thanks for all the help and remember that I want my car to be for street.

if you get anything bigger than single POT calipers with aftermarket pads, it'd be a good idea to get yourself some new rotors. From the list of mods, it seems that youre focusing more on the track/auto-x side. I'd go with some thicker sway bars, front tower bar. Endless pads, you can go with NA-Y. These would all be good for street and occasionaly track/aut0-x...oh yea another thing for a long term goal...Driving School!

 

Here is what i would get

Tein HA's, i would get them w/pillowball mounts.. its up to you.
Definately a set of racing bucket seats.. i dont know how you feel about the passanger sitting in a bucket but if they dont like it they can always catch the bus home you dont even need two one is enough.. i just wanted the extra seat for the hell off it.. its not like the passanger is doing the driving.
IMO seats make a huge difference, you have such better control of the car in general.
I saw Koy's calipers in person and those look sweet.. endless all the way i think the has their whole kit.. not sure if you can run that on a 16" wheel.. i think he has 17".
you'll be happy with above.. just take your time and research every part before you buy it. The cost is rather high but just take your time. I've been driving with buckets for about 2 days now and car feels so different, i simply count minutes to leave work and drive it.. i really now enjoy what i have, because when i purchased it i didnt really like it, i even considered to take it back..

 

What kind of buckets did you get? I was thinking of getting maybe the JDM seats since everyone has only praise for them. The thought of removing the armrest doesn't really seem practical to me though.

 

If you don't want to mess around a lot, then you should stay with JDM Honda parts or pay the extra $$$ for Mugen.

I would definitely do:
1. JDM final drive when it's time for you to change the clutch.
2. JDM header + cat (as you've mentioned)
3. Mugen 26mm front & rear sway bars
4. Mugen Lowdown
5. Then, whatever you want.

 

Any other opinions? Thanks for all the help already. Just want a more wide range of opinions.
Probably will get a JDM FD when I change the clutch. Will the Mugen Sway bars make my car stiffer?

It would provide less sway on a turn. So i guess you can say stiffer in the turns.

 

So far my favorite mod to my car out of te37s, CF hood, red SRDs, fireball exhaust, JDM header...plus some others....has to be the seats. They are more comfortable than stock, hold you in and look much better. I sold the stock seats. Balancing out the diff, I paid about $500 or so for the SRDs.
