Default New to TC

Hi everybody, just wanted to say hello. I bought last week a 2007 BSP TC, just picked up the car last week for 5k, has 75k miles 5 spd trd exhaust i plan on going with the Dezod kit or the Ptuning kit. anything you can suggest to help me along the way would be great. i.e exhuast diameter tuning tools suspension mods(need to handle too with the extra power) just ordered new rotors and ebc pads gotta stop too. been building hondas for the last 8 years but couldnt pass up the deal and from what i have heard and from driving the TC it seems to have alot more top end the any stock civic i have driven. formely owned sc60 b16 swapped 99 coupe. so i know what i am doing as far as the mechanics and how to tune just not on the TC. anyway hi and thanks in advance for any advice/help.

Heres what I would do If I had oodles of cash:
get some nice coilovers and slam it
rear sway bar
get a ptuning kit and ptuning exhaust
maybe some nice wheels and sticky tires

TEIN SS-P coilovers with EDFC
Hotchkis front and rear sway bars
Enkei RPF1's 18x8 (looks sick and light weight)
OEM or 5axis lip kit (you gotta make it look nice at least)
custom turbo

was brother-in-laws car he hit gaurd rail did 10k worth of damage not that anyone even with a trained eyed could notice dealership was offering 7k on trade till they found out about wreck then offered 3k so i split the difference and yes a nice lip kit will be added to give it the squared look. have any of you heard anything about the megan coilovers they run about 850 shipped 32 way dampening and adjustable camber plates thought for the money way better deal then the tein ss and yes sways will be the first thing as i always do suspension and brakes first then power adders. what makes the ptuning kit superior to the dezod just wondering still have no clue which way i am gonna go on that topic

get Tein coil overs, Dezod S1 turbo kit Or the upgraded version if you want to go over 350WHP.

those are just my opinions tho.

And i would never pay 900 for a Ptuning exhaust....seems like a rip off to me (IMO)
