And H&R springs. I did those first because I want the appearance benefits.

Some day down the line I will probably get the rear sway bar as well, after I get some exhaust and a lip kit.... so much to buy and install, so little time!

If you're trying to go low or for a harsher and more sensitive steering wheel control, try getting a set of coilovers

Second the rear sway bar. Cheap and you will notice an immediate performance improvement. Just doesn't look cool though!

You should probably detail what kind of an "upgrade" you want. We can give you a million affordable options, which may or may not be what you are looking for if we don't know what you want.

+3 on the rear sway bar. I didn't find out my rear sway bar was actually an upgraded sway bar until i installed bags. I didn't mind much of it but it was surely a smile on my face once i found out, also coilovers and some FIGs rear arms, if you plan on lower/slamming your vehicle.
