Regarding the front sway bar - I've heard this is a somewhat difficult mod. I think you'll have to remove more parts to get to it. I haven't looked into it too much myself since it would counter-act the oversteer I have from the rsb (I like oversteer). As for other recommendations - I don't have much. I personally really wanted an exhaust and intake (had them done on my last car) but from all the dyno charts I've seen on here so far, both of those upgrades net very minimal gains, if any. It seems if you buy those, it's pretty much just for fun sounds. (which is still totally cool Imo, but I just have a hard time justifying so much money for only sound) . If power is what you're after, you'll want a ktuner or hondata. (I highly recommend finding some of vitvipers posts. I could be wrong, but I believe he's still got the highest power civic on here. He posts dyno graphs and all sorts of trial and error testing info.) I believe the down pipe is also somewhat restrictive, so you can get some gains from that (but I think that's mostly once you start tuning). If you're planning to track the car or do a lot of racing, an intercooler upgrade might be beneficial as well. (I've read that after like 2-3 hard pulls, you'll notice some power loss after that due to heat soak). Hope that helps man. I highly suggest just digging through these forums - you'll find plenty of good information about your new civic!
