I've had my rsx for about a month now and i just need a little advice getting started from people a little bit more experienced than me. Any help would be appreciated

 

better tires and learning the car yourself

 

Try an intake, Injen or AEM. Good place to start.

 

tires. you'll immediately notice a difference in handling if you purchase a good performance tire.

 

Yup, tires are probably the most needed first mod.

 

tires, intake, lowering springs - a good start

 

will lowering springs kill the struts quick? also is adding an intake before u break the car in good for the car?

 

im kinda curious to know the answer to defiants question too. and how many miles would you consider breaking in.

 

mods depend on what you want for the car. do you want performance or looks? there are lots of parts available for both. i am partial to JDM headlights, i have them on my '04. they make replicas that are decent if you don't want to pay for the real ones. wheels and tires are a good first mod too. suspension as well. just depends what you want from the car

 

Your stock ride shocks will wear out faster with lower springs, yes.

As far as the intake goes, to me, "breaking in" a car is not going beyond 4-5k rpm before you hit the 1,000 mark. So, logically you can go buy whatever motor mod you want, simply dont rev the motor beyond that rpm range in the first 1k miles.
