Default $help me spend some money$

02Si, stock 15"rims with 195/65 tires, stock shocks and struts and I have $1000 to improve my suspenison and handling, I wanna lower the car 1.5"and improve handling/cornering - have looked at springs(Tein S-tech,H-tech), strut tower bars, sway bars etc.
-if it was your car how would you spend the money?

koni yellow/ground control package...about $850. that way if u wanna go lower you can. or if you dont want coilovers, get koni yellows and tein s-tech springs. that would be about $150 cheaper. as far as other things.....strut, sway, and tie bar.....dont get h-tech's they dont lower it enough. you arent going to get rims?

I have s techs with 17 inch rims, with barely a 2 finger gap left. I'm asian so my fingers are small.
It looks sporty compared to stock but not low enough.S techs ride very smoothly, you mightnot even need a camber kit ( i didnt) I have it on stock shocksbecause TEIN says so, but people use them with Tokico adjustable Illuminas. I'm going to save up for some TEIN BASICS coil overs and camber kit in the future, because I want the car just a tad bit lower, maybe one more finger (but not slammed) though my lip kit might scrape some more..
And don't get the H techs, they suck - barely noticeable drop..
