new owner needs help whith mods
i just puchased my second S2000 with it I had the dealer ship add to the deal some extra goodies: comptech supercharger, copmtech exhaust, eibach springs, an xbrace and tower brace. My question is this, what can i expect from these mods and where do i go from here.
P.S. I am not a mechanical genius so please be very descript.

you can expect to not be able to fully utilize the potential of your car and be less likely to understand why your car gets out of control when you make a mistake.
supercharger: more power, bog down low.
exhaust: more power w/ the SC, weight savings
springs: who knows?
xbrace: less body flex, but harder to tell when you're close to the limits. This means when you're about to lose control it will be harder to tell than on a stock car. I expect the springs to exacerbate the situation as well.
tower brace: waste of moola.
where to go from here (or where you really should've started): DRIVER EDUCATION, alignment, brakes, DRIVER EDUCATION and some driver education. don't forget to educate yourself. Like GI Joe says, "knowing is half the battle."

With all that I would invest in a reputable alarm system also.
