Guess it depend on what route your going for.
Economy wise, I would go Intake/Exhaust.
Performance wise, tires and suspension.
Rice wise, stickers and a fart cannon.


Brand wise, my favorites are:
Eibach, Koni, DC, S2, Centerforce, ACT, AEM(K&N), Greddy, Magnaflow...
I could go on for days but you get the point.

For the money, I'm torn between suspension and a swap.

Well, the first advice you guys gave me was to go with the CAI. It's worked out good for me so I'll say intake.

E-bay intake. For 20 bucks you can get similar performance of AEM or the other big boys.

After that, custom exhaust form your local shop. Crush bent 2.25" is better than your stock stuff and it'll only set you back about $100.

Those strut tower and sway bar kits are pretty effective for the price too. Didn't you say that those cheapo coilovers weren't that bad too?

Look, I just got you 6-8 Hp and some handling for about 200 bucks.

Full turbo kit with IC and a custom 1-off tube fram chassis




Oh, I meant either CAI or lowering srpings














You should really change this to a poll format.
