get a decent suspenison set up whether it be spring/shock, gc/koni's, or coilovers. just get something decent and spend the money right the first time.
then work on getting whatever engine u wanna put in. at the sametime look for an alarm, autolock, wheel lock, then some rims. you'll be good to go until u want more power or something

Do you want to be safe and secure? Or just look back on this thread when your car gets stolen from your driveway and say, "Wow, I should have got an alarm before, I got blah blah blah"
A car alarm should be the first investment in everyone new cars...

only in THIS order...
1. swap
2. suspension/brakes
if you put a heavier motor in, you SHOULD get different spring rates... so swap first, eliminate excess cost.

I disagree with this, but do agree that security should be on the up and up. When I hear a car alarm I think someone forgot to hit the button before opening their door. I think in general most everyone has become numb to the car alarm sound. I opted for the snap off steering wheel for my car...a more tangible means of security.
