How to spend $50 Amazon card

[FR-Slide]

I got one of these through work, and it's burning a hole in my pocket. So, I need some help spending it

I'm a bit nervous about getting anything "serious" from Amazon, since like ebay, it's not a real/proven vendor for us. Here is my wishlist, let me know if there is anything I should check out, or supporting parts I could grab.

New springs (looking at Swifts) - Maybe pick up camber bolts or something?
Spacers for rear wheels - Was going to remain on stock wheels/tires for a bit after the drop, but the rears need to come out a bit. I know B2 on here makes some of the best, but is Amazon a place where I could snag some ~20mm ones for the rear safely?
Rear OEM-style diffuser
Front lip/skirts/spats (non CF)
Something else entirely?

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions.

I buy stuff from Amazon all the time. Just like ebay they have vendor ratings. And I have had no issues so far. I also have a gift card from work, so I'm looking at what to buy. Here is a list of the stuff I have saved in my shopping cart, just having tough time deciding what (prices do not include shipping if shipping is not free).

TRD Drop-In Filter ~$60 There are plenty of Toyota dealerships selling genuine Toyota/Scion accessories. And actually if you buy OEM accessories, they will be warrantied under Amazon.
Rear OEM-Style Diffuser ~$70 Sold by Advan-Nation. Advan sells them on this forum.
Center Console Plaque (Diode Dynamics) ~12 Sold by DD which are a well proven vendor on these forums.
Spyder Fog-Lights ~$130

If you just do a little homework into the sellers, most of them have websites outside of amazon, but use amazon as a selling point. It may be just me but I always find amazon less sketchy than ebay. Happy shopping!

Thanks. I've got some of those items already, but they are def good upgrade points.

I'd personally recommend against the Spyder fogs, since they've given me nothing but grief so far. They look great, but the bezels don't fit well and I had to go through 4 bulbs to get a working pair. Just my $0.02 there!

And yeah, I feel a little less dirty browsing on Amazon, too.

How do those compare to the Whiteline insert? I've been considering these as well, but don't know enough about them to judge which is best/best for me.

I know Perrin also has a solid mount (prob a bit much for street tho), as well as a few other brands.

People usually do the two of them at the same time. FT86 Speed Factory actually sells them together as a package deal.

The transmission mount insert helps reduce movement of the transmission itself, allowing shifting inputs to be more concise and efficient. The rear shifter bushing provides a stiffer mount for shifter assembly, removing deflection from the original mount and allowing shifting inputs to be more concise and efficient. The two of them together combine to make shifting even better.

And go with the energy suspension mount. They make a lot of companies' bushings already, so it's the same stuff without the bigger name on it. They actually make Perrin's engine mounts.

my transmission stiffener didnt do much of anything to help "shifting inputs to be more concise and efficient." the stick doesnt bounce around nearly as much and there is DEFINATELY increased NHV.

The shifter bushing was the best bang for the buck between the two. shifting is much more precise and pleasent.
