You dont need a tune for most parts, you just dont gain asmuch HP. So a drop in and catback would get the loud part of that covered.

Think about your goal. Springs vary based on the spring rate. Im not sure what the rates of the Eibachs are. Are they even rates or stiffer in the back?

Installing HIDs is more intrsive than LEDs. HIDs you add some wiring, LEDs you swap a bulb.

But its you car. Ive given my .02 and its similar to what others have said. Maybe provide more info on why you want what you do out of the car. What is you driving ability? Make the car exceed your ability is a recipe for diaster. I have learned that the hard way.
Actually I am taking everyone's advice into consideration.

What would sway bars do in terms of changing how the car drives? Would it make it worse?

I don't know the spring rate of the eibach springs I remember them saying something like it was very similar so it did not change the drive quality of the FRS very much. It actually makes it slightly stiffer and a bit more responsive. This is what I've read at least.

Recommend some good LEDs? I didn't even know you could do that nowadays. I'm still remembering the days of honda fanatics scrambling to get their hands on those "ultra white xenon like" bulbs. Lol

I want the car to be stiff, responsive, nimble, quick, yet still drive able as a daily driver.

I want it to have a true sports car feel and look. Like a little lotus or Porsche or something like that. Lol (obviously with less power)

I apologize to all for my new-ness I'm very inexperienced at this.

At almost 30 years old I'm just now getting the car tuning itch lol.

So I can install an exhaust and CAI without a tune? What's the sacrifice in terms of less power? I'd want full power potential honestly.
