What next?

I need some ideas. I've tinted my windows, installed door visors, '09 accord horn, and I've got my Mugen quick shifter en route. My previous vehicle was a lifted Wrangler, so I'm not too comfortable lowering the car. Any springs that stiffen the ride, but maintain stock height? What about brakes? Anything else? I've read that bolt-ons/engine mods are worthless due to the ECU. Thanks for any suggestions, in advance.

Lighter stock sized wheels, springs, throttle controller...

This would be the first thing I would recommend if you have a spirited driving style:

Brembo Cross-drilled front discs, $145/pair @ TireRack.com.


Hawk HPS Street front pads, $80/pair @ TireRack.com


Motul DOT4, $12-16/bottle where ever you find it, doesn't even have to be Motul specifically


Combine the above with some decent rubber like a V-rated all season and you will see a huge change in braking feel and consistency.

You could always do custom stuff. It is odd your talking about what to do next cause I was thinking the same thing. i wanted to move to something more unique so I came up with this on photoshop. It is just a quick draft so dont be like wow shitty job lol but here is what I came up with:



I am thinking about painting the tailgate garnish to math the color of the car (I have the white though). Then painting the diffuser black. Making some fiberglass taillight covers. And either buying or making a wrap around spoiler.
