suspension - makes ur car look 100x better, and you get performance out of it. what the point of makin ur car fast if u cant control it? (my 2 cents)

Go with the suspension next, a good set of coilovers and you can't go wrong. I wouldn't worry about valve train unless you go forced induction, a crazy camshaft degree or if you just plan to drive the living hell out of it. Then look at a clutch upgrade and getting the synchros replaced in the tranny because they have been known to fail under constant hard driving cinditons. And make sure you get a good set of tires on it.

Suspension (good stuff, that is; don't half-*** it), tires, and maybe light wheels. Might as well get a camber kit for the rear, too; although it's fine with a mild drop (that is, the rear toe can be set to zero, which won't kill tires), having negative rear camber only contributes to the inherent understeer.

After that is brakes -- but be smart about it, and only upgrade IF you really need it.

Buddy Club, Mugen, um... There's some others, too.

If you're thinking of getting something adjustable, start reading up on suspension theory now, and get yourself out to the track or autocross, learn how to correctly drive fast, and decide how you might want to alter the car to fit your driving style.

Then start talking about sway bars...

I think some rims/rubber or suspension. Both make a world of difference when it comes to the apperance of the car.

check out the marketplace in suspension, ht has sick prices. And yeah I think the suspension,exhaust, and clutch, and rims is enough of a look down the road. Otherwise your hittin dreams nick, hitten dreams . . .

Mother ****** 4th of july ! ! ! Happy independance day ! !
