Can you recommend me what to mod next?
 
I seem to have a problem with modding lol. I enjoy modding and DIY but have run out of ideas what to do next. What do you think would provide the most benefit for the money besides the following I already have. Keep in mind this is my DD and if I track it it will only be on rare occasions. And not headers, don't want additional noise.

1) Tsudo Cat-Back Exhaust
2) K&N Drop-in Filter
3) Winjet Headlights w/ Always on mod
4) Opti-coated
5) 35/20 Tint
6) OFT tuned
7) OEM Audio+ Reference 400CF w/ Sound Deadening in door, trunk, rear quarter panels, roof liner, etc.
8) LED DRL strips
9) JPM Coachworks Kneepads on both sides
10) Backup Camera
11) Dash Camera hardwired in
12) LED license plate frames
13) JDM Clear corners
14) TRD Shift Knob
15 kinda) Pentosin Transmission fluid and Motul 300 differential fluid swap

Right now my number one thing I'm waiting for is the Phantom electric super charger since it's good performance per dollar but still waiting for the next batch. Rims? Shifter bushings? Leather wraps? Brakes? What provided the most value for you?

Tires + Wheels, then coilovers :)

I'm trying to ride out my tires before I swap to new rims and tires. For coilovers I'm a lil worried it'll change the feel of the ride too much.

Overpipe/frontpipe? I'm liking a catted/resonated combo myself.

eibach sportlines if you're worried about coilovers being harsh. The sportlines ride only a little bit firmer than stock and give the car a great ride height.

and +1 on the over pipe and front pipe. I would advise getting headers I know you said no to that, but headers and full exhaust plus the OFT (which you already have) stage 2 tune really make the car feel alive and how it should have been from factory

Sound tube delete (or at least plug)!

suspension bushings?

Or header

I just finished headers, front pipe, over pipe, axleback, which is a nice change.

Currently rebuilding lexus IS300 diff with 4.56 ratio. Should have it in by Saturday. Kind of a fun mod if you are a DIY kind of guy. It's a bit pricey though if you don't already have the tools.

I was under the impression the front pipe and overpipe didn't really do much. I used to have a Tsudo frontpipe but I sold it. Only real difference I noted was the sound was a lot louder with the "hi-flow" cat instead of stock.

Haha I probably don't but I like to keep my eyes forward on something in the future. Not saying I would buy it immediately but it's nice to have in sights.

Did you do headers and the rest all at once? I know headers make the most difference but is it really that huge?

and Wow that is a pretty big DIY job.

Would a catted header do anything vs. stock? I was told all these aftermarket catless headers perform basically the same as the stock one when the primary cat is gutted.

I'll look into the springs thanks.

I nearly forgot! I love my TRD quick shifter kit! You need one!
