Thanks to anyone who responds, im in the learning process and i don't wanna be just another kid who pays people to throw on parts and not understanding what they do.

I applaud you for making this statement.

To be honest, I think your best mod would be modifying yourself. You can spend very little money (comparatively) by buying/renting/borrowing a few books that teach you basic skills for driving fast, and then start autocrossing and putting these skills to use.
To me, this is the best mod money can buy because IT TRANSFERS BETWEEN CARS. By you becoming a better/faster driver, you can hop into any car and be fast. Autocross is what, $50 or less, per event?

If you want to mod your car, I think I would do the following:
-chip: this is probably going to maximize your power gains
-tires: get a nice sticky tire (maybe an extra set of wheels?). Remember, everything you do with your car goes through those tiny comtact patches between ground and tire, so this really important
-brakes: get some more aggressive compounds; I prefer Carbotech but there are several good manufacturers out there. Look for an autocross compound for something that will be good on the street and still a noticable improvement.
-suspension: sway bars will prob give you the best bang for buck

Disclaimer: I know absolutely nothing about your car. Every car is different and responds differently to mods, so I would use the Ralliart forums to determine specific brands and such that suit your car...
