handling for sure. eibach pros and stillen sways are within your budget. you'll get a ton better handling and a little bit of looks out of it.

Visual because there are no current performance mods you (or many of us) can afford that will add any significant power.

Oh are you in Sac town? If you're interested in headlight mods, I know someone up north that does a great job (painting, ironman...etc). You may have to ask him if he's willing to do it for you though.

PM me if you want more info.

My though is save up ur cash and to the most expensive mods first. Wheels and tires should be ur top priority then a drop. Just my opinion.

If you already had springs I would say Iron Man for sure but springs will cover both looks and performance dooo et.

Honestly, your 3 choices are actually - How the car sounds / looks / handles.

There is no such thing as a performance mod for these cars unless you Boost. The biggest power gain is supposed to be found from HFCS / Test Pipes but the power is definitely not noticeable in the long run as far as 0-60 / 1/4 mile. The other mods such as intakes/exhausts will just change the way the car sounds.

That being said, if you spend a little extra on coilovers, you will have a nice visual drop and better handling, but springs will at least give you a nice drop.
