As far as a sound system goes I don't really want to change much. I like having the 6 disc in dash cd player and I want to preserve my hearing for as long as possible. Don't get mr wrong I love to crank my music just as much as the next guy.

I haven't looked at the suspension or the brakes. If you guys have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I am still looking to find the wheels that are "me." I want something that doesn't look like the ones everybody and their brother has. As soon as I find them I want to post them and get your feed back on them.

I am holding off on the cold air intake because I am waiting for the AEM V2 cold air intake to come out.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks to those who have already voiced their opinion.

**P.S. I kinda like the euros but I will not get them because I can not find anything that actually looks good.
stay away from getting aftermarket taillights for your 02. If you have a 98-02 coupe, some people will recommend the TYC tail lights, which look decent when the lines are paint matched to the car, but still not my style. The 01-02 sedan has perfectly good tailights, and you will not want to replace them with anything that's out there. STAY AWAY FROM ALTEZZAS!!! What do you have? A Coupe or a Sedan?

As for your suspension:
1. How much do you want to spend right now?
2. Do you need ride height adjustability? (springs+shocks vs. coilovers)
3. How low do you want to drop it?(.75" - 2+")

For a good shock and spring set tup, I would recommend a H&R Spring and the Neuspeed Edition Koni Yellow Shock. The Koni Yellows are currently the best available shocks for our Accords, and you can adjust the firmness of the shocks. H&R Springs are pretty good, but compared to Eibach springs, the ride may be a little bit more harsh. However, Eibach springs have been *rumored* to sag over time. If it's not true, correct me. A H&R Sping+Neuspeed Koni Yellow combo can be purchased for a total of ~$740.

A good coilover to get are the Tein SS, which cost around ~$980. On these, you can adjust firmness, and ride height whenever you want.
