I started off with installing the progress rear sway bar. Next up for me is... the P2R TB spacer, followed by a CAI. I may do the UR pulley in a few months. Not so sure about that mod.
Then after I save up some spare cash, I'll go with a 1" drop. Not sure which, i'm still doing the research on that.

Also, go for a cold air intake ($135-$210). I use Fujita, but there's also AEM, Injen, etc. Also check out P2R or Outlaw Engineering's throttle body spacer(s) ($70-$100).

Progress is the company.
A rear sway bar (RSB) is a stiffening rod that goes between the rear wheels to tighten up the chassis. Your TL already has one; the Progress RSB is twice as thick/strong/heavy over the OEM RSB. There is definitely a noticable improvement in stiffness of the chassis. To see the before and after of a RSB install, check out this video.

The race springs wear out the shocks quicker than the sport springs, anyone who says otherwise is lying.
I'd like a two inch drop too, but I would only do that with coilovers.

Personally, I'd buy the aspec kit first. Then suspension.

Just depends on what you are looking to do to your ride. So, far I've purchase a Comptech sway bar (ebay $125), AEM CAI (V&T Performance in Pensacola, FL $200), UR pulley and Gates belt (UR $205 O'Riley's $40) , Greddy strut bar (Excelerate $125 03-06 Accord I believe), Excelerate brushed aluminum sport pedals $150, P2R throttle body spacer with 2 throttle body gaskets (Excelerate $120) and the A-Spec body kit (Ray Lak's Acura $750). I've been looking for the A-Spec wheels and suspension but, haven't gotten the guts to throw some more money on my ride lOl... I kind of like the Rotora or StopTech bbk also next for my ride. Had some 20 inch TSW Thruxton's (V&T Performance in Pensacola, FL $2g's) on my ride but for some reason the inside of the front tires were having some serious abnormal wear so I took them off. Personally performance wise I've seen that the UR pulley, Greddy strut bar and P2R throttle body spacer were worth the money. Looks wise the A-Spec kit and Excelerate pedals are awesome!
