IMHO.  I would suggest you consider getting a car with stick shift, it would be alot more fun than AT.  I simply wouldn't invest too much on a AT car except for exhaust, intake, but not suspension, and other important performance parts.

1> Don't worry about the brake for now, brake pads don't always improve braking power, as braking system these days are calibrated very well.  It's usually the brake fading problems which requires upgrading your brakes, or maybe the rotors.
2> My #1 suggestion is get yourself some of the best summer tires.  Lighter wheels would also help you accelerate and brake faster

Have fun!!

I am lucky enough that the OEM STi suspension is very stiff, and my upgrade with KW V3 Coilover actually improve ride quality and performance at the same time.  Therefore, it's not true that you can't gain both comfort and performance.  It's matter of rather you are willing to invest into some high quality shocks/spring setup or not.

Also remember not to just go low.

less body roll, more mechanical grip.  
if you want comfort, your trade off would be performance, if u want performance you'd have to trade off with comfort.  and really depends whats your tolerance ...

Intake: possibly the icebox I posted last page
header: no good aftermarket header for TSX AT except from JDM... they all rattle at idle or require extra weilding / flex pipes... etc....
exhaust: don't want to sound too loud
tires: will put on some good high/ultra performance all-season, no summer tires 'cause I don't wanna invest extra rim and yet another set of winter tires...
light rims: they are so expensive.. Also, sexy rims don't look good w/o lowered.
Hondata flash: seems useless... it is hard to drive at high rpm to gain the additional power.....

I should limit myself to upgrade only 1 part per year max... haha... that's why I go with sway bar first, cheap and good for my car's handling.  Can't get addicted...

Thanks everyone, expecially Ah Lik + Derek!   Bugged them too much these days...

So you mean you are not going to 改車?  How about add some stickers? I heard that stickers add 10hp each.

but you cannot tell a lot of mod from outside. The car can look totally stock (except wheel/tires...) and all mod inside.

you can always buy Rota DTP wheel and put a volk sticker on them
lower then on spring. It should fit your modification budget.
