New to site, I have questions.

how fast do you want to spend? thats what you need to ask. i'd say gears should be first, get 3.55s, as you will definently feel it, but won't notice in gas mileage. as 89 Cobra LX mentioned, the suspension on a 10+ year old car leaves something to be desired. when i put new springs and shocks in my 90, the difference was amazing. i would suggest that you look into getting some new springs/shocks/control arms, as that will help the handling and make the car ride a lot better. you can do all that for about 5-700 dollars depending on what you get.
