If I were you, which I was very worried about warranty till not long ago. I'll stick with suspension/wheels. Its less likely for these bad boys to have any issues with it than with your typical, CEL/traction lights, crickets, disappearing coolant.. and god knows what else lol. I've had warranty work done with full suspension setup and no issues, including a factory re-flash to fix the so called "idle dip".

How are you liking the st coilovers + rota titans? Thats a potential option in the long run

Surprisingly great parts for the money. The ST's may not be the ideal track setup but on the street they're great. These are one of the softest coilovers around, spring rates are compared to those of springs alone. The rota's I absolutely love. I've had them for quite some time and they're holding up just fine. The paint is still looking like the first day, they're very light and feel solid. Ultimately I want RPF1's and RSR coilovers but as I do track my car every now and then.

Teseo kinda beat me to it. I was going to pick hookers and blow.

Or, if you are in Markham, 4 hand massage, blow and maybe a few more 4 hand massages.

Pay the car off first then go with option B.

Between yesterday and today, you would've made $160+ on a $1500 AMBA investment.

From 5 days ago, would've made over $300.

Just saying... but I'm also assuming you're buying mods with cash. If you're buying with credit card, then good luck.

Why does this sound like a pitch from wolf of wall-street?

Tell me more about this magical place that hands out weekly 300 dollar paychecks for doing nothing...

Ambarella crushed earnings estimates today and the stock is up double-digits in less than a week on strong forecast.

So how much of your money have you invested and what's your return so far?

in AMBA? Up probably $100 but I only have like 10 shares. However, I am in no position to give financial advice, I just merely made my comment since OP was very vague about how to spend $1500 and AMBA's earnings call was this week.

$500 Open-Flash Tablet
$200 TRD Springs
$50 Alignment (after springs)
$150 TRD Quickshift Kit
$10 Diode dynamics interior LEDs
$15 Flyby Forte Glass coating
$10 Bottle of ONR Wash + Wax
$30 Good microfibers + waffle weaves from theragcompany
$1 bucket from walmart
$0 Clutch pedal height adjustment
$0 Clutch pedal spring removal
$0 DIY TRD sound tube mod
$534 towards loan

Don't let anybody fool you, these are the best mods you can do to this car. Not coils, not fart cans, not big fancy wheels. Once you've done this list, work on paying it off.

Do you have a set of winter tires and summer* tires? If not, do that first. After that, I'd go option B.

*If your summer tires are the Primacy's, I'd change those. Sell em if you can. Real sticky summer tires transform the handling of the car.
