First mod?

I have a stock 2001 CL-S. What's a good first performance mod to install? I'm looking for something that will provide a good value for money, and preferably something that will last late into the life of my car. Thanks y'all!

The car is fast enough compared to the average cars on the street so i would go springs to improve the car's handling, also add in sways while you at it.

So far it's CAI (and exhaust?), springs and sways... Which models are good to go with?

I see lots of guys with the AEM CAIs. How much HP does that get you? 5 - 10? How do the AEMs compare with say Injen or other CAIs?

What about springs and sways? What would you go with? Tokico? Comptech? ...?

Sorry if these are really dumb questions. As my title says it, "newbie" :P

i was thinking of getting CAI on my car but i dont want to do anything that puts more stress on the engine and crap. i figured if CAI did no harm then acura would have just put it on there originally...whats the deal, yo?

there are many many things that may you go "hmmmmmmm" ... but they gotta stop somewhere, and this mod thing never ends ... it's almost an addiction ...

Red Rider recommended the first handling mod to be sways. Why sways and not springs and/or struts? Sorry if this has been asked a gazillion times. If so, just point me to the right post!

Because the sways are cheaper to buy and you can install them yourself. The difference in handling is immediate and does not affect the ride noticeably ...
