Based on your mods and the options you have listed, I say the subframes.

Well Ericb, if I must follow the rules lol.... I voted for the subframes. I've done all except the sway bars cause my concern was going straigt, noticed the biggest difference with the subf than the lower control arms... They still help in the twisties too.

Cam, oh wait that's not an option? Well then, you want to go straight fast or around corners fast? SFC if you're dragging it, susp if you want it to handle.

Actually alot of people get creases above their rear wheel wheels on the passenger side with even stock hp, and im one of them. So to answer your question...Yes.lol

Oh, and thanks to the people picking actual options now. I just put things in the poll that would actually be a possibilty for a gift, while i would love to get a cam (tsp 233/239), Im not getting that for a present, plus there are alot of other small things I would have to get for the cam to cooperate with everything else. Trying to keep the budget under around $200

On that note, if you have an idea thats not in the poll for around $200 or less, then i would like to hear it.
