Talking Next Upgrade Suggestions

Hey guys, I'm new here. I have a 2003 Honda S2000, Silverstone Metallic in color, and I was looking for ideas for future upgrades. I think im decent in the suspension section for now, maybe I'll get a rear sway bar but let me know what you think I should do next for some hp gains. Also, where do I buy the part to clear my headlights?

So far:
-Reworks Dual Tube Stainless Steel Front Strut Tower Bar
-(recently purchased) Bilstein PSS Coilovers
-Custom Cold Air Intake
-Hondata IMG

Thanks

Why are you thinking a rear swaybar? Most prefer a stiffer front swaybar to dial in some understeer to counter the car's tendency for oversteer.

How much are you looking to spend? Gears are probably the best bang for the buck.

Lets say I have $1000 to spend, and I meant front sway bar sorry.

I'd buy better wheels and tires. Set of AP2's with some sticky rubber. That'll do more for performance than a swaybar.

I heard Swift makes a pretty good swaybar.

i know 1000 is not a lot, but i just dropped about that on those coilovers, so thats all i got right now, but should I save it or spend (and what should i get). If I get a test pipe, will it fail the emissions test at the NYS inspection?

Hardtopguy has a core exchange for gears for $965. You order his re-built diff with 4.57r gears for $1965...then ship him your old diff when you install the new one...then he refunds $1000.

Or you buy just the gears for $590 and find a local gear shop to install (that's kind of risky since the tolerances must be exact per instructions and some gear shops will want to do it "their way").
