So I started to look into Stillen Gen 3s. Can be purchased for $425 shipped until cyber monday is over.

I was thinking of the Z1 Intake because it was $80 off, but after doing some research there were complaints that the filters were poor quality and allowed excessive dust, dirt and contaminants into the intake tubes.

Frankie,
Hotchkiss & Eibach are the most common here, the Hotchkiss cost a bit more but have grease-able bushings, both perform well.
As far as wheels, there's so many decent options depending on style & budget.
Many of the newer flow-formed (which are also known as rotary forged, and probably a couple other fancy names, lol) are a good option for lighter, stronger wheels that are quite a bit cheaper than true forged wheels.
I have Wedssport wheels, most of their wheels are around 20 lbs.
WedsSport Wheels
Some other quality Japan-sourced wheels that won't bust the bank would be SSR (the GTV line)

The Work Emotion line

Rays Gramlites (some are budget busters though)
http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...tegory_Code=GM
Enkei (again, some are quite high $$)
http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...e=Enkei_Wheels
Forgestars aren't a Japan made wheel but another option and they custom cut the offsets.

Good luck settling on just one

Z1 2 Piece Rotors are 10 lbs lighter and around 460 right now, of course you will need the Akebono Calipers if you don't have an S. New Differential bushings, because yours are probably already leaking. How about some coil overs and upgraded suspension pieces?
If you get the sways, you will want to update the swaybar links.
You can lighten the car by removing things like the spare tire. Get yourself a lithium battery. Unfortunately my old bat was acting a fool and I just got a conventional one.
If you are going to change the gears, get the VSLD if you don't have an S. Some guys use 4.09 I think something around 3.77 or so would be a good compromise.

all this just to fit a different shape intake and gain minimal hp.
The Z1 intakes alone seem well worth it until i did some research and found a couple of members on here complaining about contaminants getting past the filters. One member sold the Z1 and got Stillens instead.
Also the Z1 intake filters don't have any type of bracket to hold them in place. Both intake tubes kind of just dangle and hang behind the front grill...
