I would put a nice set of coilovers before the f/i or n/a choice...and with the race header you need to do motor mounts and front sway.

true but a good set of coils goes for almost a $1K

coilovers are always a great first mod.

you also want some good tire if you don't have some already.

First, you need to do some reading before you mod your car.

:iamwiths: took me a month to know the potential of my car and what parts are best quality of buying & performance. First of all I've start off with the basics like Cold Air Intake, Exhaust, & Headers. Then go from there to whether improve your suspension, performance, exterior, & interior. If you wanted more performance like planning to get a RH for a big bang. A reflash or K-Pro would nicely go for a hell lot of performance to begin with your mods. Someone correct me if so b/c I'm still learning for myself.

BCRH with motor mounts and front sway cost me just as much as my SS-P's, But I understand what you're saying.
