Guide me in the right direction!

Well since my sun visor tv's did not fit I sold them to some dumb kid for 500 dollars.
Now this leaves some oppurtunity's open for me and i need some opinions..

By the way I have a White 2002 OZ Rally with CAI and RRM's pulley

Option 1
Piggyback ECU V.2
Price: $460.00
This is the 100% performance option. The only thing I don't know is how much it would cost to get installed..


Option 2
B&M Short Shifter, Carbon Fiber Taillights, Front Strut Bar
Price: $440.00
This would be the bulk buy. I'd get some looks, suspension, and performance. It's a pretty nice list imo.




Option 3
Front Strut Bar, Lower Tie Bar, Rear Strut Bar
Price: $320.00
This still leaves $180 to work with. All suspension. Not quite sure if I want the rear strut though because of my subwoofer in the trunk.




Option 4
Put the $500 toward new wheels and tires. The cost for wheels and tires is 900 dollars for the rims & tire package i want.
Price: $500 toward the $900
Motegi MR7 on (205/40/17)


If you have any other combo suggestions.. I'm happy to hear them! Thanks for the input guys

Option 3 ain't bad. It just depends on your priorities. Our bars are rated to 2500 lbs. including the correctly engineered design with proper bends to properly distribute the load accross the struts etc... Straight bars are no correct umless you can directly spread load at the point it is generated. Imagine a triangle with the hypotinuse ends being the 2 points to spread load accross. You can get from A to B by spreading load thtough the other lines but guess what. IT will buckle and not spread load correctly. This is why we used these same bars on rally cars for 10 years of racing.

If you are gonna buy all those bars you might as well get a rear sway bar as well. It didn't look like you were planning on it.

Priorities? Performance or handling? You be the judge...

Option 1, because everymod after that you will get more out of. It will make the car more fun to drive. It will make you want to keep the car longer, then you will be able to eventually buy all options and be completely satisfied. Just my .02

Yeah I'm leaning toward the piggy right now but how much should it cost to get installed? or at least how many hours of labor is it?

You can do it yourself. All that you would need is to buy is a cheap soldiering gun and some material and your good to go. It shouldn't cost more than $35.
