Default Best bang for the buck?

Im looking to do a couple mods that are less than $200. Just trying to get some input from other people to further my knowledge. My car is the 3.8L and I have done nothing to it.

Bigger sways -- you can get some SS sways (32/19 mm or bigger), or a front Strano 35mm sway and get his rear 22mm later...

SS sways will cost 200 bucks alone. And he wants power mods I'm guessing.

There's really no mod that you can get for less than 200 bucks other than a cheap CAI.

Yes because I looked in another thread to compare to this one. 60 bucks for ONE sway bar. That's without bushings or end links...

Bushings $15 bucks a set. Endlinks $20 bucks a set.

Well **** pour me a beer fellas that looks like right around 100 bucks!

I've been searching eBay and have yet to find a $60 set of SS sway bars. I did however managed to find a single SS front sway bar for $60 plus $19 in shipping... Add in endlinks and bushings. Oops almost forgot the rear one!

$18 shipping
$26.32 Rear bushing kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Energ...Q5fAccessories
$10 shipping
$59 front sway bar 32 MM http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-02...Q5fAccessories

Looks like the reason the front bushing kit is so cheap is because it does not have the links. I am not sure where the "Kit" part comes in. Add another 10-15 bucks. You could reuse your current links.
