I recently put in a short ram intake in my CL. Its fairly cheap ($180) and really easy to install. It adds around 10 to 12 horsepower and adds a nice sound to the engine.

go to a site like photobucket, and upload the pictures then. then copy the img code, and just paste it into a comment. you can post multiple in 1 comment. coilovers are better but more expensive. it depends on what you want. appearance. handling. speed. rice. corn?

Rear sway bar from Progress is a great bang for the buck in terms of a suspension mod you are feel.

theres one in SD this saturday, i think tsxy luster and shady_cu2 is going. i don't think i can make it, too much work from school and its pretty far. that one is mostly tsx (from t s x club) and maybe a few 8th gen accords

check the socal section in the regional section on the top right of this forum. there might be one coming up

where you gonna install your coils at? mine are sitting in my room as we speak lol.
