Curios on what my best option is...

Well.. so far i got an exhaust and intake but that is it. and I am getting a custom stereo system put in. Yet I would like to add more things in the relative time as I save up for thee magical turbo.. ^_^...... ... probably get my *** killed but that is a minor detail. So far I have came to the option that I do want to get rims but that is a lot and I don't know if i can afford them right away unless that is the best thing I should do, than i can go abouts in trying to get financed. But I want to do soemthing else soon. I can go with a b&m short shifter for 169, a throttle body for 270, or eibach springs for 230. Just want feedback on my next best move would be. I been leaning towards springs, and I wonder if RRM will put them on for free. Cause i might get all 3 or 2 of them or something at the same time to make it easy. well.. Tear my post apart!!...

Consider it torn apart! j/k. Personally I'd go for the springs unless you plan on replacing your shocks later. If you DO plan on changing your shocks later, then I'd say to go for the bored throttle body. It'd be a nice little mod to toss on with the intake and exhaust.

I did my wheels first, and I don't regret it, but now that I'm broke again I'm finding it harder to part with money and I have only little to show for it aside from grip (which is actually much better than my stock yokos) and looks.

How much of your exhuast did you get done? Just the muffler, muffler and catback? If you haven't already, i highly recommend getting a highflow catalytic converter. Should be about $150 to buy and install at your local muffler or performance shop. Is should still pass emissions versus a test pipe. You'll love it, trust me.

The cat's are pretty much universal. I got a magnaflow with the heatshield so it looks kind of like the stock cat. I would go ahead and get it with the muffler and catback to get it all done at one time and to maximize the effectiveness of each mod. Like I said, your local muffler shop should be able to do it. A place like Meineke probably won't do it cuz it's supposed to be illegal to mess with the cat unless it's malfunctioning.

It might malfunction if a masked hoodlum were to say...stab it repeatedly with a screwdriver. FIX THAT, MEINEKE!
