But springs are second because they are also a style feature.

Speaking of style:

Wheels first, springs second.

But that makes springs a cross-over mod that, while second in to groups, should be done right away because you kill two birds with one stone.

Heh, I did coilovers first, wheels second. Actually I bought them both at the same time, but it just took my wheels forever to get here.

I don't know which I consider the susspension to be more of, performance or looks... I think its more performance. 130+ feels great.

Coilovers with the adjustable height.

I wish Comptech made coilovers...

It was pretty fun. I just got new cleets, that really helped cause it rained Sat. I got a bruise the size of a fist on my right arm.

It depends on what you buy. That is why I went with Comptech springs and sways--a known performance enhancer. Looks came second for me. Some folks drop their rides sooooo low the look great but you wouldn't want to take them on a bumpy road or you wouldn't have any performance (not just ride, but too stiff means choppy handling on rough roads).

Audio:

I don't know sheet about audio, so what are the top two things to improve your Type S?

On the cheap mods:

Need help here, too. List your top three (not two) mods for under $100 (lights, plugs, whatever).

WTF. I forgot the most important mod of all:

Ditch the tires and get your baby some new shoes! Damn. That is the easiest and fits all major groups: performance, handling, and style.

Lets see, as far as audio, if you aren't an audio phile, and just want a little more bass, go with the infinity basslink. Its a sub & amp combo that doesn't take up much room in the trunk.

Top 3 mods under $100? Ouch, well that's kinda hard..

1.) Spark Plugs - Performance
2.) Aluminum Brush Door sills - Looks
3.) Dynamat - Stereo (Retails for a lot more than what I paid, but I still made it under $100)

What does something like that cost? And does it take up much room in the trunk?

The dynamat I picked up retails for about $230. It doesn't take up ANY space. Dynamat just deadens doors, trunks, anything that rattles basically for better sound.
