Tax return to be spent on???

I got about an $800 tax return on its way and wanna do something to my balt. Now I dont want to spend it all on the balt, less than 300 but just something. I am seriously thinking about upgrading the seats, stock cloth kinda sucks. Having a little trouble finding a set I like though...

I dont know if I really wanna go for performance parts cause its just my every day driver and m not really racing it. Maybe a handling upgrade though, cause the base LS's have so much body roll and understeer, and I do always enjoy the windy road or too. Just looking for input thanks!

P.S. if u happen to have an extra set of seats your wanting to get rid of let me know.

About 500 of mine is going towards finishing paying my student loan. The rest, to my credit card unfortunately.

get a CAI, rear sway bar, or check out coverking.com to upgrade your seats

they are covers but they fit like a glove so its rele kool, i got them there should be pics in the gallery

cold air intake for sure, rear sway bar, front strut bar, and if your looking at upgrading your seats check out coverking.........i redid the entire interior of my LT..........no more cloth

i dug up a pic for ya

If you add a rear sway bar, ie. TTR or progress, you will reduce body roll drmatically, and it will also help reduce the understeer. If you have lost of steep driveways, I would go with the progress, but if it is flat in Az, then go for the TTR rear bar.

I can't comment on the strut bar, but I have read many opinions that claim that it is unecessary.
