Thanks guys for the suggestions. Sorry it took so long to respond I've been away on vacation in the Grand Canyon and cell service sucks here. I think I'm gonna lay off the "power" mods for now and maybe do some suspension stuff. I really prefer driving a good handling car over something that's just fast. My 97 hatch with a B16 swap and jackson racing supercharger was fast but I really neglected the suspension. DX civics never came with anti-roll bars and I never added them. And since I am a new S2k owner I do agree I really need to learn what the car can and can't do

Do full coilovers like a nice set of V3 and maybe a front brace bar, this car will be a blast to drive with just those two mods. Really this car has great power to spirit drive stock.

I actually believe the best mod to start with is a set of light weight wheels with fatter tires. Keep the OEM suspension, change what you are riding on. The lighter weight wheels will be felt in acceleration, braking, more available grip with bigger and better tires.

learn to drive the car with small tires and lower grip, big tires are only good for the track as they make the limits of the car to high to prod on public roads... i run 215's on the street sometimes so i can slide the car around without having to go 75mph

i'd drive the car for a bit then get coils , front camber and possibly a front eibach adjustable sway bar
