What should I do next with my car?

I have a 2003.5 sedan.
Approx 33k miles.
I have installed Stillen High Flo Intake with Z tube
Coupe 18 Wheels with Continental ContiExtreme Contacts 245/45 18s.
Small stuff like tinting, all weather mats, portable navi, valentine 1.

I have some extra money and I have decided that I want to keep the car for awhile rather than selling it this Summer like I have discussed.

SOO what should I do next to the G? Really not sure where to go with this. But I would like do so something!

but what

I bought Z springs about 2 years ago but decided to sell them before I installed them.

I am thinking that I want to get exaust or maybe just the sway bars.
Which exaust balances sound, performance, and cost?

The Borla is my fav as far as balance. I got mine for ~$750. It is a true-dual and does give some performance but it still sounds good (nice and clean).

Sway bars are a must IMO.

Drop it down, get some kind of body kit and an exhaust to complete the exterior look.

drop it. wayyyyyyY better. . exhaust is not going to give you any performance, like a set of springs will. you and everyone else will notice a drop more then the exhaust. exhaust is LAST in my book.

it really depends on your budget and what kind of mod you want. You can do performance, exterior, suspension.. etc. etc.

You can get a good set (Stillen or Hotchkis) for under $300. I got my Stillen sways from Riverside back when Chad worked there for ~$260 with shipping. I think it was $258.

Might try PM'g Mike at Intense, Tony at Riverside and some of the other vendors. Sways are popular and there are a lot of sales on them.

Im going to look into the sway bars and possibly suspension stuff.
The nismo kit is simply too much money and I know its bound to get damaged.
Possibly Borla also

for suspension, without spending too much money, i'd go with some Hotchkis sways and a full revised OEM Z suspension (struts and springs)

that would run you about ~$800 installed.
