Tax returns...What to do with the $$$

Ok so I'm expecting to get about 800+ on my upcoming tax returns so here's my question what to do with it? Here are my ideas to do with my almost stock car.
Either get a RS*R exhaust and get an Eibach ProKit lowering Springs, or get rims and lower my car in the summer.
Here are the pics:


Motegi 17X7 DP12 (seems to be cheap).

-or-



with the lowering springs.

here's my car:

With $800, you can do a lot to your car...

Rims for $400 or less
Springs for $100
Exhaust for $200 or less
Short shifter (if applicable) for $30
Neons for $40
shift **** (if applicable) for $30

You just gotta shop for the deals. Don't be afraid to ebay a few things....

I think you should lower it first, because it won't really look good with rims without lowering it first, but that also depends on the tires you buy

I'm a noob when it comes to tires, what tires would look good with that? like how to I know what all those numbers mean, tire wall height and all? If the rims are 17X7.
