Short Shift Kit.
Sport Seats with bolsters. Probably the best two upgrades I could have done to my car.

Assuming the car is in good shape overall, and nothing needs looked at- drive her!!!!!!!!!!!
Spend the money on track time, driving lessons, and tires. Learning to drive these beauties at speed- safely on the track- is a whole lot more fun than looking at your new sway bars. Once you can handle the car- then you will know what needs to be done next. Use your next $2000 to do the upgrades that you will then want. A new set of bushings will not put a smile on your face the way powering through turn one at your local track will. Been there, done that! Gary |
