    Best Budget Performance/Handling Upgrades < $500

    I think a thread with all of the best performance/handling mods around for $500 and under would be a good thing for many people. Sorry if this has already been posted.

    Ill add to the list:

    BMW Performance Intake $310 USD
    BMW Performance CF Strut Brace $270 USD

    Lets keep them coming!

    Shelton, I don't think anyone has started a thread like this. Best mods for under $500 is a good idea.

    Active Autowerk's tune by far I paid under $200 at their open house

    So far really impressed with AA strut bar as well. Bolt on no mods and the car is noticeably stiffer. Less than $300

    AA tune for under $200? When did you get that, and was it at their FL HQ? I'd do that in a heartbeat at that price but I live in CA.

    I haven't installed mine yet but I have been at the road course with a car that had them and these felt great up front.

    That's what I thought as well, but I spent about 8 hours on eBay yesterday and found a few for under $300. Of course there's the cost of install as well if you decide not to DIY.
