Default next mod for Ep3

I know you guys hear this question all the time, but I have about $500 to spend on my ep3. I'm not sure what I wanna do with it. I have AEM SRI. I'm thinking either suspension, spoiler or exhaust. What do you guys think?

save a little more, and wait for some struts to come out. KYB is coming out with some soon, or save more and get some TEINS.

i was in the same shoes youre in.

First thing i got was sprint springs @ $220
nothing i hate more than a normal height Si. it differs us from those old ladys and ppl with handicap plates that just stumbled upon our fine EP3.

after that get GROUNDING wires and ignition kit. Saves gas and power by eliminating electrical noise in the car. you'll get just as much power as buying an exhaust at the fraction of the price. They'll be about $150 a piece.

I'd rather spend 300bux for a 10-15hp gain on wiring than 700 bux for a 8hp gain and -6.2tq loss for a catback

Do you have dyno graphs to prove those numbers? Seems weird to me to get grounding wires instead of exhaust system and the wires making more power.

wondering the same... usually honda electrical engineers do a good job designing the electrical system. grounding kits for the prelude get .5whp maybe

My first mod was wheels, then springs, then exhaust. At the moment, I do have a deal on some exhausts if your interested. Very cheap price for a short time. The retail on these is 475. Check it out here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=834121
