What mods to get?
The 4.77 are best for quartermile but worst for 0-60 because it requires an extra shift into 3rd. If you DD your car i suggest you get something less than 4.77 because you will just be cruising at a high rpm all the time.
Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions. I have learned a lot of what my goals and interests are regarding my S. It seems like I am more interested in aesthetics, suspension, and then performance. I feel like the performance of my vehicle is perfect just the way it is without engine mods. Besides, this is my daily driver and I would like to maintain the drivability as much as I can. Looking at my car now, I have Swift Springs, front OEM lip, and red Honda emblems. All aesthetics and suspension right there. With my current budget of $700, it has all been spent.
Rear OEM spoiler
Moddiction shift knob
Front lip splitter
Front strut bar
Clear side markers
Total came out to $500.
The other $200 I spent on my mountain bike accessories. I need to spend on my other lifestyle interests as well.
I think next year, when I have disposable income again, I would like to invest in more suspension components. Maybe side strakes.
I will definitely post pics once all the items come in and I install them on my car. It should be relatively easy installs.

Ok cool, yea thats a good choice and price, ive seen them go for 27 each and im like wow people paid 50 for it, thats nuts.
Nice work on budgeting well! Dont buy another intake until you know what build ur doing when/if you tune it and you know it will perform better with your other mods.
Only reason you'd need a different exhust at this point is for tone, or a 3 inch free flow to pick up around 6 hp

Koni's are a great choice but they wont elimnate wheel gap, i would spend the extra 200 bucks and get the Megan coil overs. Also since you mentioned sway bars, which is a great choice seems like handling is a priority for you. Although the Koni's are probably one of the best bet, they will throw the cars OEM balance and handling off just a little bit, in a sense a small downgrade as far as some pointers in handling goes, while a coilovers, even the cheaper ones like megans, would be replacing the entire suspension rather than just a part of it, making it an upgrade.
Good to know that I can trade my seats with a little from them as well.
I thought Koni's had two settings: upper perch and lower perch. Setting it on the lower perch will drop it by an additional .5".
