New modifications

Ok i have a rx8 obviously...with a veilside kit and i apparently budgeted wrong for the year for school so i have an excess of about 4 grand forgot to add some things and i want to spend about 2 on my car for other accessories and such. It has 18 in rims and from doing a lot of research i found for 1000 i can get a seibon carbon fiber hood spoiler, underglows, new halogens pretty much minor accessories to add to the appearence inside and out with the only major mods being the hood and spoiler body wise. So im left with another 1000 and the problems i have are driving for one the lsd my brother put in if i rev to high it drifts around corners if i hit the gas to hard which is annoying especially after a night out with no school and its so low that i have to turn sideways over speedbumps. So the question is for the other grand what should i add to the car itself for some stability so far reading about wheel spacers thats a no go, and suspeension kits are well over a grand except for 1 i found...for 899. So if anyone has an answer to wth do i buy for 1000 for this car then it would be muchly appreciated because i really have no clue or just get a hood and spend money on other areas for stability.

For $1,000.00 you should buy a stock front bumper, stock rear bumper, factory AP sides, and factory wheels. Then you will have a cool looking car again.

haha well, as much as I hate the Failside bodykit, I believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Although, I really hope you reconsider the underglows... Again, just my opinion.

What year is your car? How many miles?

Sway bars are always a fun mod to the car.
