The best advise I can give you is this.....Work on your driving skills before you upgrade your car; because if you can't drive well to begin with, upgrades won't help. It's roughly 80% driver, 20% car.
With stock suspension and sticky tires, you can really amaze LOTS of people if you learn the little quirks of the stock suspension!! I got flamed LOTS of times for what I could do with my old 2002 Accent GS with stock suspension!!!
