hmmm so heres my 2c . . . enjoy Tires= big thing if its daily driven. i like my Bridgestone Potenza G900 there a great all weather tire, and being from nebraska i need somthing for everything. granted there are sticky tires out there but you will be replacing them sooner plus they can really suck in the rain. they are a fairly quiet tire as well and have a sporty tread pattern so they look good too. Brakes= if hes got 17's he needs GSX calipers and rotors, besides being a good upgrade all around they will fill the rims better. if your thinking of sport rotors GO BRAND NAME and NOT from ebay. those D/S "brembo" ebay ones are unsafe and will develop cracks and possibly fail with spirited driving. MachV and RRE usually have sales of the OEM GSX rotors for cheep. however if you want aftermarket look for brands like AP racing and Brembo as they are one of the few manufactures that make there own blanks then drill or slot them. as far as pads go EBC makes a nice pad that produces little brake dust and bites hard with little warm up. shifter bushings= one word SYMBORSKI everyone here that has one sweares by it! http://www.machv.com/symshifkit1.html just click and buy lol

combine that with a B&M or Fidanza shifter (or ebay knock off, dont worry most are fine) and some shift cable bushings ( http://www.machv.com/mavshcast.html ) and your shifting is gonna blow your mind! springs= true coil overs would be nice but pricy. some Tokico iluminati or blues with some Tein springs would do nicly. and yes dont forget the Camber kit. Ingalls is nice or you might be able to get away with the washer trick for it as long as your not droping too far intake= shinny & names =$$$ unless you can score an injen or AEM cheep then yeah the home made or ebay one will do ya well combined with the K&N. if you know any paint friends they might be able to hook you up with painting it for ya or prep it your self and use some high quality spray can stuff so it will stand out in the bay. others= you didnt mention an exhaust so ill throw out the ebay N1 knock off. cheep and sounds good. if you need to pass inspection or trying to be a little more low profile id grab a GST catback. strut tower bars are nice but you get what ya pay for. cheper ones may look good but flex more, but the super stiff ones can be pricy. OBX are solid and come in a variety of colors. DC Sport and D3 make good ones as well. little things that make a difference to me would be replacing the little 194 wedge bulbs with some LED ones. you can find them on ebay and are avaliable in white, bluish white, and blue. you can also find the LED dome lights there as well.
