Ok 2010 was the year to shake the bugs out of the car and bring it into shape. Spent about $4K in tires and R&M. In the spring I'm planning on IMS, RMS and possibility clutch if needed.
That being the end of the R&M I hope to work on some upgrades.
I'm open to advice but I'm leaning toward updating the suspension. The car is 11 years old and has original equipment. I'm guessing after 11 years I would notice new springs and struts. I'm also leaning toward the ROW 030.
I have not done any track days with the car, but would like to next year but i expect the car to be mostly a street car.

Dave,
+1 on visiting Alex at FabSpeed. Fister D's are all about good sound, without any real performance improvement. FabSpeed offers a wide selection of exhausts and other upgrades that will actually improve performance.

I would consider your budget first. LN engineering IMS and clutch would be first on my list IMHO and then spend $500 on the sound area..
Complete exhaust, intake and flash is not the best bang for the buck in a NA motor. Just do it for the sound unless you can source used parts at 1/2 price piece at a time.

I am expecting the RMS, IMS and Clutch to run around 3-3.5K.
But the shop said I should have some extra cash if something else comes up i.e. flywheel that also needs replacing.
So its the next 1.5 to 2K I'm having trouble spending. Leaning towards Row m030.
