Most bang for the $ performance upgrade
I'm toying with the idea for some upgrades as I'm really enjoying my Sport AT What would some of you say is the most bang for the buck? By performance I mean "driving" (handling, power, fuel economy, etc) Thanks

it all depends how much much you want to spend. for handling go with the rear sway bar. for speed go with the jackson racing supercharger or the t1r or hks turbo. simple air intake and full exhaust always helps too.

I'm low on funds so I'd say $100 Thanks

Man a lot of supporters of the rear sway bar... the 24mm front sway bar is a great upgrade option as well. I find it gives a nice feel to the corners.
However all things aside; I found the springs to be the best bang for the buck for me. I run Tanabe GF210's, it is a day and night difference in handeling.

i agree. avoid all intake and header upgrades. and only divulge in exhaust mods if you want a nicer looking/sounding axle back.
and get a spring and shock combo, or coilovers. do it right the first time.

Well best bang for your buck would be suspension up grades. The rear sway bar is good and probable get a good set of Coilovers. With the Fit, a Auto at that, your going to have to go forced induction if you want any noticeable power gains. My auto Fit with intake and Cat-back exhaust I have not felt any real power gains except for maybe a bit more pep.

actually, that would achieve all of which he was asking for: power, handling, fuel economy. but, it would be the most uncomfortable and noisy daily driver.
i used to drive a striped ef hatch. eventually, the noise got to me and i hated driving it
::EDIT::
before i get my post nit-picked to death -- I AM FULLY AWARE THAT REMOVING SEATS, CARPET, ETC. WILL NOT INCREASE HORSEPOWER ... i meant to imply that shedding the extra weight will yield a slight increase in acceleration
