You can still get Tein SA check shops in Toronto in your neck of the woods don't have it. Are you open to performance mods or just looks?

Tein SA for suspension along with front and rear sway bar.
K-tuner for ECU tuning (gain some power with mods), Pre-Cat deletes, J-Pipe and intake for power

As far as brakes get some slotted rotors and get some good pads, factory ones suck. Stainless steel brake lines will give you an improvement.

While acura is replacing your engine they will resuse some old stuff like the waterpump and timing belt and such. You can pay for new parts for that so you will have to do the service 105K from the new engine rather than 105K on the car.

you want more performance? go with lighter wheels and better tires.. that alone does alot.. diamond cuts are heavy wheels.

potmilkz, I recall you sold your diamond cuts. I like the look of them but retail price is $$. After market could be cheaper and I has often thought of changing my 18s but I like the look of them.

The Street Advance are definitely a great way to go if you want a high quality coilover with damping adjustment at an affordable price. We offer them for the 4G TL here:

TEIN Dampers - Street Advance - Excelerate Performance - European, Exotic and Japanese Performance Specialists!!

After the coilovers, a Progress rear sway bar should be next for handling! (Assuming you have the Pilot Super Sports already)

I was going to sell my Ktuner and potentially even the car itself but decided against it. And, I'm going to put about $2500 into it as well:

H&R Springs - $200
Koni FDS shocks - $700
(no, I'm not a coilover guy)
RV6 PCDs - $350
Tune and labor - $500

That leaves me with about $700 left over. So it's either I stretch a little and put an A-Spec kit on or buy the ATLP "mufflers only" kit. Thinking the former but I can imagine the sound with PCDs, XLR8 j-pipe w/ 3rd cat delete and the ATLP mufflers just might be pretty awesome. I may install the PCDs and suspension with a friend which would obviously save a bit of $$$, just not sure if I'll have time.

I already have the KTuner and j-pipe so I guess I'm a little ahead of the game there.

Sucks there really isn't much more to be done to these

This has to be the best comeback for this scenario I have ever read.
