Best Mod under $500?

What's the best mod for around $500? I bought my Z with a K&N CAI, but was thinking I need just a little more. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sway bars. You can get front and rear sways for less than $500. Eibach, Whiteline, Stillen. They will noticeably improve handling. If you want to be extra generous, combine the sways with SPL or some other brand of endlinks.

This. You'll notice the improvement every time you turn the wheel.

I suggest a one-day driver training session -- probably the best way to increase performance...
