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?

That's exactly where I'm heading. I'm waiting for tokico shocks and struts to go on sale somewhere to avoid damaging the stock ones. I actually also want to get some wheels and tires, but I've seen some ridiculous prices (relative to my budget, not the quality) of those, which have kept me from getting some.
