$500 on mods.

So far, my car is still in the shop getting its **** fixed. I wanna cheer myself up and made a $500 limit on mods.
I already have Rallyarmor mudflaps, autometer boost gauge, and oem STI trunk.

I will probably want to spend the mod money on,
1) Hid
2) Drop *dont know which springs though*
3) Drop + rear sway
4) Sti limited lip
5) low profile exhaust
6) STI axle back + STI side skirts + rear diffuser
7) cheeeeeeeeeep access port? =D
8) 500 fudge super star bars or choco taco.

Remember this is a 06 Tr and dp is usless unless i get AP, uppipe is useless unless i get GT35R (lol). Any recommendations?

Cut your budget to $400 and get a bunch of Choco Tacos. Nothing better than $100 worth of Choco Tacos...

I would recommend either STI Pink springs (JDM) or the Prodrives (I think the prodrives are cheaper) and a cusco or whiteline rear sway bar with whiteline endlinks

AP will make a HUGE difference, get that if it's the only thing you can do right now. Will $500 even get a pair of HID's?

I have an AP and no suspension mods and still able to take the twisties. I guess since he has a 2.5 L engine the AP might not make as big of a difference as it does on the '04 2.0 L.

not so much on the 06s (atleast stg 1)which he has, its just going to smoothen the power band out a bit but not make much, if any, more peak power. its a good 1st step to more power, but he might notice more out of suspension bits right now

*ninja* timmah you took the words right out of my mouth
