^^^ like my buddy club coilovers a lot too. they're a bit soft, but are built well amd have good features for their price point. coilovers are def great for those looking to get specific handling (& appearance), but they're not for everyone, esp those from the "set & forget crowd." coilovers take a loy of patience to get right.
anyways, just wanted to post a couple of updates because i just bought what i think are my new favorite mods (reposting my blurbs from elsewhere on the forums)
installed a Saner bar a couple weeks ago. WOW, what a difference in handling & stability! my S was borderline unsafe w/out it. i felt so uneasy driving it that i had soccer moms in SUVs and joe schmoes in stock accords bullying me on backroads & twisties.
granted, i dialed in my buddy club coilovers a lil more by raising the height, adjusting pre-load & damping, but it's a night & day difference w/the Saner! best $$$ i've spent on my S so far!
now, jist need to do a lil more fine tuning & get another alignment. guy that did my current one took out all the toe because i told him i wanted better tire wear (ate thru mu rear Pilot Super Sports in less than 7k miles) 
rear end was ULTRA twitchy, but the Saner has tamed things a bit. ride quality is noticeably more harsh up front now tho. i'm on the saner's softest setting too.

(the following is in reference to the Flashpro i bought from a local seller & the tunefrom Jei/Blacktrax)
Much thanks to Jei/Blacktrax for not only sending me a tune for cheap, but he also patiently answered all my questions & concerns.
As for the tune, it feels REALLY good so far. i won't incriminate myself w/explicit details, but i took my S for a short midnight run last night. Jei really unleashed the BEAST!
the power delivery is silky smooth and just pulls all the way to redline. i had to do a doubletake because i thought my speedo was off! lol
i guess this will help qualm my desires for boost for a lil while. i honestly have been a bit disappointed w/the s2k's power, esp coming from turbo & larger displacement cars, but this tune really put some fun back into my S. getting my suspension dialed a little better has too, but that's a diff story.
anyways, thanks again, jei/Blacktrax!
