performance mods for 02 tls

I am a newbie to the front wheel drive performance area.
I know that solid and thicker sway bars are the way to go and progressive springs are better than shorter ones.

What works for stiff suspension? front and rear strut bars? or just front? I am use to drifting.

What engine mods really work for the vtec type engines? intake, header, downpipe, by-pass pipe, exhaust h-pipes for dual exhaust, pulleys, cam shaft, cams, fuel pressure regulator?

What brake upgrades (beside the comptech ones) are available? are the brakes upgradeable by switching to the NSX ones? I used 300z calipers (4 piston and 11" rotors) and rotors for my 240sx. I found that performance mods for the 240sx can be taken easily off the 300z. is this the same for acura/honda?

Since your use to drifting a front strut tower bar would be my suggestion...

As far as engine mods... it depends what direction you going..
naturally aspriated or other... for basic bolt on.. intake, headers,
exhaust, cam gears, cam shafts..

Brakes.. brembo has a couple of different choices...depends if
your looking for cross drilled or slotted or slotted/cross drilled...

As far as swapping parts... i use to own a 95' integra GSR... they
don't swap too well with civics... maybe rims... if u own a civic and want an engine swaps wit a integra GSR...
pretty good match.. may need extra engine mount...

Cai Intake, Headers, Exhaust will produce about 30 hp
Pulley and v-afc is still not sure if produce alot of ponys
I will test this out hehe. Need my eyeglass holder to get molded for the v-afc. You can get the coilovers or the springs and adj. shock combo. So much to do with so little money

Man, I had to read that like three times to figure out what you were saying. Punctuation and capitalization would help.

You did all this and still use the stock transmission?
