Best Mod in different price ranges
#18
The stated cost ranges have greatest granularity concentrated below $500. Hence, an implied desire to focus on improvements in the under $500 range. Suggesting mostly things in the >$500 range would ignore the majority of the desired price ranges.
Main interests in improvements to suspension and reduced cowl shake would mean suspension refresh/rebuild to improve handling. A suspension rebuild or upgrade will run far more than $500, probably $2000 at bare minimum for all four corners. Cowl shake means stiffening the chassis to have less flex. That means uprated bracing, like TOMs, under the chassis and possibly strut towers. Again, it's beyond $500.
I simply attempted to explain why there isn't a huge outpouring of useful and interesting suggestions. It's not a personal attack or judgement about the OP, but an explanation as to why there is a tepid response.

This forum is also quite different from most other forums in that old information and threads are highly valued instead of being treated as old, useless data. Typical forums punish you for resurrecting an old thread and encourage creation of new ones. In this realm, older threads continue to be of value and act as important reference material to be searched within.

Best Mods...
I'd suggest a bumper protector would be a useful low cost improvement
This is one I use on my 2007 car that as a Florida car only has rear plates. Less than $100, as I recall
This is a $200 black mesh grill I ordered off of eBay. Eventually these 5" amber driving/fog lights will be mounted in front of the grill. They turned out to be too large to mount flush in the grill as originally was my intent
This car also has the Injest air intake system and a Magnaflow exhaust system. Together they were about $1250, installed

Yes, use only SuperPro for the rack, I dont think SuperPro make the poly bushing for this car 26mm & 13mm. If you upgrade the swaybars to the Aristo front (28.5mm) & ISF rear 17mm then you can get SuperPro bushing for those sizes.

That 2Bumpers Duo looks great for the back of the car as long as licence plate isn't too recessed for it. And think I might go Bumper Thumper up front. The Bumper Thumper folks also have a cool looking magnetic door protector called Dingbats. Tho doesn't look like they'd stick on SC430 doors unfortunately.
