+1 on the H-Sport 19mm rear sway bar. If you haven't already, you might also want to consider the NM Engineering Torque Arm Insert and the WMW Performance Recirculating BOV. Both are great bang for your buck mods and you should feel a pretty immediate difference.

Or maybe a Whalen Shift ****. It looks great. You can custom design the graphic on the **** and it feels great in your hand.

All the other stuff mention is good too!

save your money until you have a serious amount of disposable income

do you have 4 to 6 months salary in the bank?

if not - save

if yes GOOD

continue saving until you have 2 years
