Default I am torn between...

Ok, so I have about $500 to spend. I am not going to save more money to buy something bigger and better. I am at a point in my financial situation to make a purchase of this amount. I have been looking at a Koyo Radiator, Samco Hoses, and a J's Racing Radiator Cap. I have also been looking at getting an ARC Titan Cooling Panel and some other misc. stuff. I was just wondering, if it were you with this money what would you buy. Any input is welcomed. Also, I am not tied down to cooling products, anything will work ie: engine, suspension, cooling, brakes, exterior, interior...

My current mods are:
APR Front Lip
Downforce Sides
GTM Carbon Spoiler
Circuit Hero Shift Knob
Buddy Club RSD's
Stoptech Brake Lines
K&N drop in filter

None, all of these things will not benefit you. And your taste will dicate the rest.

Engine - Intake/Berk's High Flow Cat will give you some results.

It's hard to say, you really need to do some research on your own.


NEXT!

The stock S cooling system is already good as-is. Save it for something bigger/better.

Start with an appropriately-sized catback exhaust. Later, add an appropriately-sized high-flow cat and then a header. Make sure you keep the sizing correct...never step DOWN, always keep size constant or step up slightly.

But before you dump money into go-fast parts, why not formulate some sort of plan/package for the engine? This way you aren't Lego-building and you'll get more bang for your buck.

Spoon F/R cross braces and a shock tower brace should be about $500 or so.
