Best thing to do with 2 G's?

I have $2,000 to do whatever I want with, and im split between rims, springs, and tires....and headers and exhaust. What do you guys think? And if you have any other ideas, those would be great. Thanx

Handling should always be on top of the everyone's list. In my opinion, handling is more important than hp.

I agree, handling over hp. This car needs it!!! The Type-S has enough hp, IMO. If you come up with another $2G's, the next should definitely be wheels (lightweight if possible). If you have another $2G's after that, then you should get i/h/e, and you're done

Put into a CD. Look around your local banks, and check out the internet banks that keep popping up. Not a Compact Disc or Cross Dresser... you know what I mean.
Interest rates suck right now so don't go for something more than a year.

Springs, sways and headers.

Unless you're in love with the sound, definitely do NOT get the exhaust... waste of money (2hp for $600 - ummm, no thanks)

I agree 100%. My car is much better b/c of the handling upgrades than either the headers or the CAI. You should be able to get all of that done for an even 2Gs.
