I upgraded my suspension to Fortune Auto coilovers w/ Swift springs and added FSport swaybars. The swaybars are the best bang for the buck out there in my opinion and provide a considerable improvement in handling.

I've also installed a Greddy Evo3 exhaust and JDM window visors. They're a little costly, but sound/look great.

Coilovers and wheels. Lip kits and exhaust. Intakes is usually the first preferred choice for mod.

The list is a never ending list.. I started with an intake, exhaust, and coils. Now I have no stock parts and all aftermarket parts including my whole trunk and hood..

Be careful to "thank" us, my friend. The modding can be a slippery slope, if you will. You will start with a few changes and soon become addicted.......... All for the good, no doubt but it really is never ending. I have finally reached a plateau, if you will and don't have anything planned besides adding a Wald rear lip or moving to drilled/slotted rotors but doubt even those will be my final mods.
