falkore24's photo gallery 		I'd say get either a CL-S OEM sway bar or get an aftermarket pair of them.  Best bang for your buck in suspension.

Being able to take turns comfortably 10-15 mph faster makes the car a lot more fun to drive!

Status: offline 		i would say Intake, Header and Exhaust...(just as what ziwang55 said)...but i would really check my car first what is really needed like if you still need some fixes then do that first and then do the performance...

Status: offline 		well my rides got 43000 miles on it maybe i need to replace a few things or so. but im really glad with the stock suspension system on the car its better than what i expected pretty stiff for stock. well if i get headers and exhuast how would i know that it would fit together. and im thinking about gettin the aem v2 for intake. but it just came out so i dont really know how that would do.

03Sleeper's photo gallery 		CL-S rear sway is 19mm
TL-S rear sway is...24mm.

Take your pick....but the bigger the rear sway bar is the more neutral your ride is.

Status: offline 		if your gonna buy headers and exhaust, look for the inlet and outlet sizes... i think the exhaust piping is usually 2.5" or 2.25" which i think will fit your stock catalytic converter if you keep it...

basically you try to match all the inlet and outlet into 1 size(or maybe very close to it)...so it would all fit...

Status: offline 		most of the headers today has the header and also the downpipe...

i cant really say...what do u want to do with your car? are you going for Forced Induction (turbo/supercharger) or are you going NA(normally aspirated - which im gonna be going for)?

if your going for NA..then the simple upgrades you can do with your car is Intake, Header, Exhaust.. i would say do the exhaust first if you cant do the the full exhaust system yet...
