    I am in the mood to spend money/install something for the RS. But I have no idea what to get. So far the car is completely stock except for STi cat back and wheels/tires. I want some suggestions on what to do next. I am ordering front and rear struts this week sometime and then I am out of ideas.

    How much you got? If your just "in the mood" Maybe you should just save it. I know I would just spend it but its easier be responsible while giving advice. Do you have a set of winter tires/rims? Now is a good time to think about something like that. different bushings can be cheap and effective and may help you get over your "mood" while not spending tons of $$$.:dunno:

    Im picking up my winter wheels/tires in the next couple of weeks. I dont want to spend anything major. Just something little that will make a difference and give me a feeling of accomplishment. Is that so hard to ask? haha.

    Yep the sways are under the car the endlinks connect to the ends of the bars. I guess basically the sway bars help keep your car bit more flat in a curve or keep your car from rolling side to side I'm sure someone else has some better input on this topic though. look up some pictures of them and it may make some more sense. i personally do better with pictures.

    i have a 20mm rear sway with whiteline rear endlinks. best thing i've done to my car (practically the only thing). much more balanced going around corners.
