Suspension = Traction.

Other than that, you need to save for some forced induction.

Save for boost and raise the car up to 2 inches instead of 3-4.....that's way too low and can only be adversly effecting your ride.

If you really want to spend the $500 now, try a cam or something. If you want to boost down the road, your best bet is to save the $500 now and apply it to your future mods.
