Default I have $300 to blow... what to buy?

I have $300 to blow on my car...
this unfortunately isn't enough to buy anything supercool...

My car is stock, except for an AEM intake...
I was thinking:

Coil-overs (skunk2 or GC)
Falken Azenis 205/50/15
Z10 Traction Bar
DC Ceramic Header
Random Suspension Things (ITR swaybar, etc.)

What do you guys think???

DC header

I just installed my 4-2-1 and ITR cat back. It made a nice noticable improvement.

z-10's really helps stability even if you dont have alot of wheel hop yet

itr sway and strut bars great bang for the buck mod

you can get ground controls but you wouldnt have $ for shocks so id wait on those.

tires id wait on those 2

I would say go for something suspension

the ITR swaybar and some polyurethane bushings for the front sway bar would be good

strippers,you can probably buy 3 for that price

...or some coil overs, cause a slammed car is the nicest, this is if youre not into strippers

Save that $300 and buy a mugen sport exhaust, my bro just installed his on his 98 prelude, pretty tight. Now I want one.

Tires!
if you have stock michelens, the azenis's will feel so much better. I would go with tires or the ITR swaybar. I have both of these and I dont regret either of them.

ITR Swaybar?!? Only get something like that if you are comfortable with oversteer. Is this for AutoX or Drag?

Coil-overs (skunk2 or GC)-need shocks to match or fear "the riceing"
Falken Azenis 205/50/15-mmmmm
Z10 Traction Bar-just a cai you say?
DC Ceramic Header-utter crap, but not that bad... good crap, could do better
Random Suspension Things (ITR swaybar, etc.)mmmmm

So basically an ITR rear sway and azenis will make butter out of curves

If you don't know what to buy then obviously it's not imperative that you spend that money. Save it for springs and shocks or something like that, because stock suspension sucks.

don't waste your money on coilovers... get some quality springs... or some real coilover setup.... because even though skunk2 and gc might be the best out there for regular coil-overs... the ride still sucks..

if it is... get a DC header.

The ride does NOT suck with GC coilovers. My brother has Skunk2 on his SI, and rides almost exactly the same... I still like my GC's better though ;-)

Personally, I couldn't stand watching my car sit so high, but that's just me
