If you want some real results in the handling/ride department, pick yourself up some Koni SA's from stranoparts.com. Night and day difference, the car corners and rides so much better. Another mod I would suggest is new brake rotors (brembo blanks or duralast blanks) with hawk pads.

If mods were like drugs:
lid = caffeine - just getting you started in the downward spiral, not even a really fun drug
catback = cigarette - like when you stole that single cigarette from your dad and caught a buzz for the first time when you were 13 - the logical next step, better sound and power, now you know what a real buzz feels like and you want more
headers= beer - now you are really feeling a buzz maybe even getting drunk with modding a little. You can buy expensive beer guinness/kooks or cheap beer Pabst blue ribbon/pacesetters its up to you to choose your poison.
intake/throttle body= marijuana - Time to spend more money and congrats now your buzz is illegal, just like when you deleted EGR and AIR and threw away your cats. Uh-oh youve reached the gateway mod...
tune = Ecstasy -you can spend money and get the good **** /good tune or you can skimp out and take your chances on some tune/E that was cooked up in a basement in Mexico
stall/clutch/gears = LSD - you'll be really happy after you do this one, the road will become a blur. unless again you cheap out and then youll be sick when your tranny or rear explodes faster then your heart
heads/cam = mushrooms - youll see and hear new things with your new lopey idle and power
Turbo/supercharger = Cocaine - you gotta be making some cash to afford this drug/mod, but you are really gonna have some fun and be hooked once you try it. youll be up all night working on your car too...
Nitrous = Crack - Cheap, addictive, fun to use and best of all dangerous and addictive. You might end up like bobby and Whitney...
drag radials = detox - this is the most logical mod/drug you ever did! what good is 1000hp or even 5hp unless you can get it to the ground!
lid = caffeine - just getting you started in the downward spiral, not even a really fun drug
