Now for someone that just wants a nice daily driver that fun to drive I would just get some lowering springs (At most $150), new shocks and struts (around $300), strut bar and rear sway bar (maybe $150 for both) and some wheels..either brand new or find some used locally and you can get them even cheaper, and whatever's left do whatever else you want. If you have anything that needs to be fixed or maybe some maintanance work to the car I would suggest to do that first, so at least you know your car will be running w/o no issues in the long run.
do that. then if you still interested in your expensive hobby(aka your car) take it to the next level and do the swap.... all ive dont to my 8G is suspension and brakes. my car handles great and its lots of fun to drive but now once i finish my suspension, im going to take it to the next level..... 5speed swap, brake conv., NOS, or even maybe a turbo. you have to know what you want.
