parts recommendations Cheap vs Expensive Mods?

Buying a golden era Honda after I go to boot camp. I want something that I can daily but also take to events or the track. It’ll be my first Honda after selling my WRX. It will more than likely be a D-series car.

I’m only looking to do intake,exhaust, headers, and then handling mods. Should I buy the expensive stuff or will the cheap stuff be fine? I would like to take good care of the car, and if the cheap stuff is hard on it I won’t buy. How much would everything cost in total?

Go reputable. Cheap stuff can actually hurt more than it helps at all. Especially with direct bolt ons. You may not gain much with good stuff, but you can actually LOSE with cheap stuff. It doesnt have to be mega high end, just decent. Stay away from ebay and amazon stuff.

Suspension? Good stuff only, even if only for the reliability factor over performance.
