What's next for the cf4

[93_Accord_EX]

So I have had my sir-t accord for about 2 months now and so far all it has is a new set of prelude wheels, HKS intake, and a nice new set of plugs and wires. I am looking for some advice on what should be done next. My ideas so far have been suspension, intake manifold or valve springs. The skunk2 dual spring valve springs have cought my eye for the moment and I'm wondering if I'll get a decent gain of power out of them and also wondering if the car will need a tune or any follow on maint afterwords. Any imput would help at this point my f20b is dieing for some mods.

upgrading your springs is only necessary when upgrading your camshaft. Otherwise it won't do you much good. The first three mods people usually do is intake, header, exhaust. You already have the intake, start looking for a good header and cat-back exhaust system. Maybe even install a hi-flow cat, or do what I did and install a Flowmaster Hushpower II Shorty in place of your cat (Unless you are in an emissions controlled county).

Yes he is. He is currently residing in Japan. A country which is just a tad enthusiastic on their annual road worthy inspections.

I am not one into mods and don't like deviating from Honda factory designed and tested equipment. But if i was in your shoes i would:

1st Get chrome tips to dress the current exhaust.

2nd Get HID's fitted (if not already) as its functional

3rd Strut braces since its also functional (you can still feel the increase rigidity and the point and shoot feel even in moderate speeds). I would stick with the OEM shocks as its comfortable and tuned for Japanese roads (which in my quess is A grade roads - meaning your shocks are already stiffer than USDM, AUDM or EDM)

4th Get JDM OEM options (not already on it)

Just my opinion.

Cf4 is a Sexy car, I want pics! but back to the nature of the post.

Adding valve springs to a head that doesnt have any other mods mainly camshafts, will actually be bad for your head, as it will cause extra stress to the rockers and cam. causing early wear and tear and worst case malfunction. plus the money it would cost to install such a mod is expensive comparible to mods that will have a imediate effect of engine response and proformance such as intake's and full exhaust systems (header back) even a larger TB, or a chip and tune.
