What to buy with $250?

All I have on my car is a headunit, alarm, all weather floor mats, and this week tinted windows.

Anyways, I just came across $250 and was wandering what I should get first. My thoughts were(for around that price): intake, springs, or amp and subs(I can get the amp at cost and a friend might give me some subs).

What suggestions do y'all have?

I would say springs... but maybe intake. which ever you feel, because if you do the springs you may need to get shocks soon.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Springs end up costing a lot more than $250. First the springs themselves, about $150. Then an alignment kit unless you want to go through tires every month, that's about $150, then the install of the springs if you don't do it yourself, then an alignment after that, which runs $70-80.

Get some springs. Goldline makes some decent ones. Them and neuspeeds are the ones that everyone seems to be using. I think you can pick them up for $140. Do the install yourself and save that money. Goldline claims they lower 1.75" so you can probably get away with not getting a camber kit. Most of the people on here are saying that they lower 2.0" though so beware.

i would say save up a little more money.. then you have more options for bigger things like shocks.. true coilovers... or rims... intake is cool too but if you're like me and 250 bones is hard to come by, i'd say go and by the intake to give your car a lil go...
