Default 06 Silverstone AP2

Hey guys, I picked up an 06 s2k about a month ago and loving it so far. The car has 72000 miles on it and is completely stock. I've been on the forums ever since and have been learning a lot about the car. It'll be my dd, but I'm thinking about doing a few mods and would like some advice/opinions from the members on here.

Suspension: I want to drop the car just a little bit without losing too much ride comfort or have any alignment/rubbing issues. Coilovers or lowering springs? I'm thinking about going with either swift or eibach pro kit springs with stock shocks, I would appreciate if anyone with either of those would chime in on this and let me know how the car looks/feels.

Sway bars: How beneficial are they and which brand is the best?

Which front lip and rear spoiler looks the best?

Engine: Looking into the hondata flashpro and maybe an aftermarket cai and filter. I've also been reading about 4.44 gears?!?

Exhaust: I'm not really looking into buying a complete exhaust system due to the car being my dd and I don't want it to be too loud. I'm considering a straight pipe, any recommendations?

Any advice/opinions will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks guys!

WELCOME





Straight pipe is super loud. If you just want a mild change Q300 exhaust shouldent bust the bank.

SSM = Best Color. Coilovers are way to go if you want both comfort and looks...plus adjustablility to your liking

Welcome!.........And I agree with Spectre711, I would go with coilovers. Also oem lip and the trunk spoiler would look nice. Either way, congrats on becoming an s2k owner!

Thanks guys! I'm not looking to spend too much money on the car, I would like to get coilovers but maybe later down the road. As of now, I'm thinking about just sticking with lowering springs and I'm leaning more towards the swift.

Exhaust is also something that I'd consider later down the road.

I'm trying to keep the car looking/sounding stock as possible with only minor critical upgrades.
