This question is akin to going into a grocery store and asking one of the clerks by the door, "how much is the milk in the back?"

I would recommend checking in the marketplace section of this website (at the top of the screen in between DSM Journals and Galleries). A lot of what is available is listed there along with a link to the vendor that sells it.

Also hit up ebay, a popular auction site used worldwide, for cheap prices (and cheap quality in some cases).

I was just asking what brands are good to get

If you're willing to fork over the money GReddy is always good

It's too bad GReddy went bankrupt... Good thing is the US division didn't

OP Most people will tell you to sell it an buy something with a 4g63... .

My best advice without saying that is startHERE <--- Click

Perhaps I should have used a

But it's hard to go wrong with the the sort of bolt-ons you've listed. Most of the name brands are of quality and have loads of reviews so it's easy to research. Unsure of your budget or your intentions for the car, but ebay stuff can work out just fine for someone not looking to drop a huge sum and just have a "little extra kick" under the hood.

Here are a few products I've had firsthand experience with.

Exhaust: An A'pexi catback came on my old MR2. It sounded very nice and it held up well in the harsh Oregon climate. A buddy of mine has a thousand dollar HKS system on his '06 WRX. It has done very well for him and I'm very impressed with it.

Coilovers: Real, true coilovers will set you back several thousand dollars. The cheaper ones will give you a sportier feel, but won't do much for you on the track. If you don't plan on racing the car competitively, I'd skip coilovers. Just go with an anti-lift/caster kit, decent sway bars, and quality shocks. Honestly, the best improvement to handling you can buy are wider tires. Spend the extra dollars to get the real deal.

Clutch: I have a Fidanza clutch setup on my Mazda and have not had any problems. It feels a little notchy, but "bites" when shifting.

The link MY1G posted is a good jump off point. Good luck!

I apollogize my budget is around 2500

I say dump the money on replacing all the worn parts first if you haven't done so. Belts, oil change, new spark plugs, bushings on all suspension components (more likely your rear upper knuckle ones), engine mounts, lower lateral control arms (should be free to replace since it has a life time warranty?), radiator hoses, and all the other hoses. Once your car is reliable to drive around, then start shopping around for those parts. I don't see the point in having nice upgrades if the car doesn't function right. G'luck.

Definately agree with Mirad here get all the maintenence done first then go to mods.
