    Id say go cai first,
    strut bars alone without anything else in relation to handling do not do much at all,

    in addition to the tiny power gain with the cai, you get a gruntier sound.

    look into INJEN!

    hardest part fr me is i cant find any supliers to get injen CAI coz i dnt have a credit card and cant buy online. Only place i kno of is revzone a mate hooked me up with them and they only suply a jtune kit with K&N filter looks alrite but its 400 for the kit and another 250 for installment.... just duno if its worth that much for only a tiny gain in power + my apexi filter alredy has a nice growl duno if CAI will be able to top it but then im no expert?

    id put the money towards rear sway bar. Just use a drop in air filter for now. A euro aint a racing car

    CAI

    If you can't find a manufactured one just do a DIY. Great mod to do first on a car, sounds/looks great and gives a little performance boost.

    never heard of the euro type R?
    whilst his engine isnt the same, it has alot of potential handling wise!

    but, yes,
    if not a cai, definately go sway bar, (not strut) big difference!

    a strut bar is something you should loook for at the end, after coils, after sway bars!

    http://www.jtune.com.au/products.html

    i just want a lil bit better pull through the 0 - 4000 revs coz its pre flat there... was hoping intake would help by vcompensating for it in 4000+ revs if u kno what i mean

    and anyone kno how much a rear sway bar for the euro would cost???
