Two Best Mods for the Money IMO
Mod #1:
EBC Rotors/Red Stuff pads
Finally got around to replacing the useless OEM brakes. Rotors already turned once and the car was beginning to shake bad again only 3k later. These brakes are incredible and look amazing. Car stops straight and fast, no shimmy what so ever. Purchased these through HHR Boutique. Great vendor!
Mod #2:
Turbo Tech Racing Sway Bar (Red)
Install was a breeze, didn't even have to put it on ramps. Looks cool and the difference in the handling is incredible! Car corners like it has suction cups for tires. Next to no lean at all. So far this is my favorite mod. Thanks to Aaron at TTR, fantastic vendor to deal with and item shipped next day.

I wasn't heavy on the brakes either, this is the first vehicle I have ever had that the brakes were crap. If you ever do need them the EBCs are great.

I think what folks are mistaking the *factory* sway is that bar that sits up inside the rear axle beam.
Turbo Tech's and Progressive's tie the outer portions of the rear trailing arms together. I have to agree, what a difference!

I LOVE driving my Blackie now even more and it was a VERY easy install (with MANY thanks again to HipHotRod for the help putting it on).
