Late to the party... but here's what I'd do if I had 4 grand to upgrade my '95 ST.

Note: I've already got a short-ram intake, header, 2" straight-piped exhaust, front and rear strut bars, weight-reduction (incl. glassmat battery), and 16" wheels with Kumho AST's.

1. Megan lowering springs ($100+ $300 for new shocks and install)
2. Suspension Techniques front and rear sway bars ($220)
3. Four 215/50 R16 Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec ($500)
4. Piggyback ECU tuning ($250)
5. Engine rebuild + higher compression pistons ($1000-1200)

Then I'd take the rest and and save it for when something else on my car decided to explode...

Coilovers - 1000
Gt Four hood and bumper - 1000ish ?
Slotted rotors - 2-400
Complete rebuild for a 5s to make it have basically 0 miles again - 8-1500.
The rest would go to oil and other bits and pieces like wax and soap ext.
Forgot about some spacers to maker the car a bit more flush and a camber kit of course.
