Mugen, Modify...

I have TSX 2007 which I has been driving for 6 months. I would like to know 2 things. Where should I start modify my car? Should I start with body kit, engine, or wheel?

Also, what is the different between 2004-5 and 2006-7 tsx? Why Mugen body kit (04-5) can't use it with 07?

Sorry I'm kind of new with this kind of stuffs.

Thank you

Your initial question is too vague to answer. It's all up to what your priorities are. Are you going for looks or performance? If you were able to tell us that, then we might be able to assist you better.

You kill 2 birds with 1 stone when you get coilovers.


1) Aesthetics: It reduces your wheel gap similar to other luxury sports sedans like the AUDI A4 or 3 series.



2) Performance: Body roll is reduces, brake squat is eliminated, and car cruises more stable at highway speeds.


I recommend TEIN Basics Coilovers, they run about $600.

What others brand for the suspension? Also, I will go change my intake tomorow with injen.
Another idea that I have is not put the body kit but low my car with romjon inspyre 19". What do you guys think?
