First and foremost, get some springs. Then after your car looks normal, go from there.

Comptech is the consensus pick.

Honestly it depends what you're looking for.

The order I went in was: Injen Intake, Comptech Exhaust, 18" rims/tires, springs, Headers

If I could do it again I'd go: Comptech Springs, 18" rims/tires, Intake, Headers, Comptech Exhaust.

The reason I'd change is b/c the handling of our cars is what really sucks from the factory... so I'd lower it and get better rubber. This will also seperate you from all of the other CLs/TLs on the road. Then you can start adding power.

For someone that drives this car daily and commutes to school an hour away, what do you suggest for best comfort (closest to stock, and i DONT want bouncy, i HATE that shit)....

springs/shocks (btw, which combo would be best suited as mentioned)

or

tein SS coilovers

Also, why? :P

Holy crap, i got carried away...just bought a completely stock 01 Cl-S. Here's a wish list i compiled from customcarweb.com (juniorbean posted):
AEM Tru-Power Pulley Kit $140.99
Comptech s.s. catback exhaust system $984.99
Comptech s.s. headers $1,097.99
Comptech s.s header stud kit $154.99
Comptech icebox $255.00
Comptech drop-in high flow filter $56.99
Comptech sport springs $274.99
Comptech titanium upper strut bar $286.99
Comptech sway bars-pair $297.99
Koni shocks front and rear $550.00
SPC front and rear camber kit $345.00
All this for a mere $4,447.00 before tax, shipping and oh yeah, installation! any words of advise or caution about any of this? I have little experience in car mods, I read that the springs lower the ride, would this affect (turning) clearance on tires? and what are coilovers?... do you get them in place of the sport springs?
