I'm sort of afraid to say Ebay...


But it really depends how much money you have and are willing to spend...


If I had the money, I'd order from the Manufacturer sites.

Take it to a Jiffy lube or some place and run a full tune-up.

New brakes are a must :-)


Safety is a priority.


When I bought my car, I had a bunch of things wrong.... including brakes.


I took it down and got new ones.... or pads... I'm not sure.


I want to get Brembo brakes... but I'm not sure on how hard or how much brake conversion would cost...?
If you care about your car at all I wouldn't take it to Jiffy Lube. A tune-up is not that hard to perform. Honda engines are extremely easy to work on yourself, especially with the amount of room in the eg engine bay.

I will do the tuneup myself. I found out it has a pretty good oil leak and a poping sound when stopping and starting, also when turning.
