Suspension should be the first big step if you do decide to go that way.
It's lots of fun once you realize how tight you can make a Honda-Acura in the handling department. And it's not hard to do it yourself for the most part.

Mm hmm. I would reccomend a full coilover swap as far as shocks and springs go, but that is a little pricey.
For now I'd recomend a rear sway bar and strut bars for the front and maybe back if you want it. I think the DC pieces are supposed to be pretty good.

if you decide to lower the car you'll have to make a decision if you what to get a spring/shock combo, or if you want to get a full coiloversetup. you could get a decent reasonably priced set of springs like Eibach, Tein, and Neuspeed to name a few. shocks you could get Koni, blistien, tokiko(I think I butchered the spelling). with coilovers Tien, and Apexi are pretty good. option auto salon is having a clearance on the Apexi coilovers for just around $500. that's an amazing deal by the way, they normally go for $700-900. a spring/shock would run you around $400-$700 depending on what you decide.

The only drawback is you'll have a loud hissing sound from your engine bay, but it shouldn't bother you that much. I forget mines there unless I hear my car running from 20 or 30 feet.
I'd go with the Injen just cause I got the AEM for my civic, and for my next car I want something different.
i love that whistling sound.
