First his car is a N/A.. Put your $500 aside and save a little more and get a good set of tires. Or do what I did when I had a RS, stainless steel brake lines better pads ( Axis utlimate(StopTech)) and either Motul 600RBF or the blue stuff people use. The brake mod on my RS made a huge difference. Or if you don't have sway bars do some WhiteLine front and rear and end links.
^^^It's NA
I agree with Silver Satin...more bang for the buck addressing the other parts of your car like brakes and suspension. Use your upcoming tax refund for a turbo or upgrade to WRX.
It also depends on what kind of racing you're gonna do.

Nate was frustrated on Thursday night 'cause no one was jumping at the chance for the reflash. I think it was before you got there.

OK why would he reflash a NA car not gonna do anything not even sure if you can or would want to reflash a NA car. I would keep your car it is a good looking car just upgrade the braking what ever else you have cash for..

It really depends on what you're going to do.

I say either get headers, or what I highly recommment and like everyone else is saying is a brake upgade. New pads, SS Cobb Lines, and the Cusco MBC Brace. You will notice much more of a difference with braking that a few HP with headers. You could best WRX's on the track with better braking.
