i personally think the ebcs for $90 is amazing
They only problem is if you do not get tuned for the EBCS you will be overboosting... This also goes for any engine mod, you need tuned to see the gains.

I would have to say bang for the buck would be sway bars...

Stock STi Endlinks are good enough...

When you upgrade the rear sway bar, you should also upgrade the stock sway bar mounts. You can get the STi rear sway bar mounts for about $15, IIRC. The stock ones tend to bend when subjected to the strain of the upgraded bar. It kind of defeats the purpose of the upgrade. Either that or spend the $90 to get brand name mounts.

Kartboy SS and bushings or the 20m STi RSB/brackets/bushings for me. Each was about $120 and completly enhanced their respective areas.
