What next?

My friend has a 03 ex and we were wondering what he should do next. Hes got 400 to spend on something. He already has intake, exhaust, and headers installed.

^^^ Now thats some peer pressure right there buddy. Your friend must have a lot of money and trust you alot to listen to you like that. Does he not have any knowledge of tuning his own car?

i lived in michigan for awhile and the potholes where F"ed" up especialy in the Detroit metro area energy suspension makes some good bushings that will out live the car and DC tie bars would work in the handling making the car that more rigid. ive got them on my sedan and think it was a good investment
