Default HP boost on an auto tranny

Hey, can someone throw in some suggestions on how to boost the performance of a Civic 98 Coupe EX with an auto tranny? Any parts like the basics and stuff, as it is now it only has an Aerospeed complete exhaust and some cheap *** air intake i believe, the guy that sold the car to me left it there, at least its made of metal and has a carbon head, but im pretty sure its cheapo, and it has 17" rims with low profile tires, altho one tire is bigger than the others which is driving me crazy (any suggestion on tire specs and brand would be appreciated, 205/40 is the number of 3 of the tires one is 45 [:@]), trying to replace it as soon as posible, thanks.

get some nice headers on there and get a nicer intake. and possibly a intake manifold or some new heads.

Would getting a suspension help with the sounds the car makes when i hit a bump or small hole? cause im starting to believe this 17" rims are gonna brake my car apart lol it sound like its gonna at least. (Sorry this is my first car, im kind of a newbie.). And i will try and start with the header first, do i get those by brand or from a more powerful civic and whatnot?
