All the chassis bracing I've done: full set of Cusco Powerbraces, front strut tower bar w/ brake cylinder brace, TRD door stabilizers. It might not have raised my performance limits like an anti-sway bar or set of coilovers could have, but the feedback and predictability of the chassis now is such that I can easily and reliably find those very limits easily, and hold it at the ragged edge all day long. In other words, I can make my FR-S sit up and do tricks like a well trained show pony.

My 2 favorite mods so far are the SRT headerback exhaust and my now functional extra rear taillight between the reverse lights, wired to rear sidemarker light.

Very nice. It seems like I'm going to have to look into the nameless axleback after I break her in in the spring. I'm glad to hear that the H-tech springs don't hurt ride quality too much. Does anyone know how these compare to the Eibach Pro kit springs? Did those of you that went with lowering springs look into OEM style replacement shocks? I know a lot of adjustable coilover kits are out there, but how about a set of shocks that allow for the lower height that have similar or improved damping rates to the stock shocks (with a little more longevity and quality)? Has anyone started producing these yet? I had a set of bilsteins on my prelude back in the day at stock ride height and it made it handle pretty well, and also still rode well.

Invidia N1 Catback. It's just quality for the money and the car seems to have responded well despite having no tune.
