I'd go with the general consensus that the most useful mod you can have for a daily driver -- no track -- is springs AND shocks. The bolt-on engine upgrades don't fit my budget at all, with single-digit-percent (read unnoticeable) gains on our 1NZ FE, as I've gleaned from this forum. If I've got no more than $1K to spend on the thing, I'll probably skip the rims and rubber and go straight to suspension. No offence to the rims and rubber, but the looks and extra grip don't quite catch me as much as the feel of the road in a stiffer car.
My brother wants me to get a strut brace to firm up my fronts. I'll either go solid 3-point or won't bother. I think rear sway is next on the list as soon as I get accustomed to the current setup, i.e. after alignment, ride height tweaks (possibly a touch higher -- yes, higher! my centre of gravity works great when my oil pan's not crashing into railroad crossings and various road construction debris) and a full winter and spring of driving experience.
Are you in the GTA?
