Something suspension related, ASR plate + sway bar, or just save it towards a swap.

Yes, its a big difference going between no bar to having a bar, esp. if you go with a bigger bar. Alot of people recommed upgrading susp. first before messing with engine swaps and the likes. Having a car that handles well is just as much fun as having a fast car.

Brembo blanks, Hawk pads, upgrade master cylinder, an oil change, NGK V-Power spark plugs, and OEM wires.

Congrats, your car stops well and runs well.
