Suspension should always be first... then maybe exhaust or wheels

hummm... I also want to know how difficult is it to install the K&N intake on MY06/07, any mod needed? How much do they usually go for?

Thanks!

Installing the K&N is easy. As far as mods go, once you have it in, you will see the exposed cross member thats under the stock airbox - You will likely want to purchase a cross member cover to "bling" this, so add some dollars to your cost estimate - I think I got mine for about $70.00. Of course, you can stop moding anytime - (sure you can) - my next purchase - polished aluminium pulley set.

I'm currently saving for both suspension and wheels at the same time. I am so tempted for power mods, but I want wheels!!!

And suspension is a must when getting nice wheels IMHO...

You put racepads on your dailydriver? You must not like your rotors, driving on cold mornings, and clean wheels.

Ahh an AP1 owner

The stock AP2 pads dust like crazy. Once a week minimum the front rims need to be cleaned. I imagine you could get a pad that didn't dust, and had more fade resistance than stock, but you're right, race pads would be a bit much.

My first two mods were clear side markers and a convex mirror. But the Hondata/Header combo looks really good for real gains.
