subframe connectors should be the very first mod, since you haven't had them done, I'd do them next. then a rear gear change after that.

cobra brake kit (can't say this should be first enough times), then subframe connectors like randy said, then bilsteins MM caster camber plates and lowered to your liking. Then 3.73's and call it a day.

BTW... for power you need to decide what your goal power level is. If you want more than about 300 at the wheels, then look at the power adder route. If you want just a little more than you have, do the brakes and suspension then get the gears and it'll feel faster which is probably closer to what you want.

Just because a mod gives you a lot of power doesnt mean it should even be one of your first 5 mods.
