I cant imagine that being easy to shift. Way too short imo. Irun the Doc Iso short shifter and it is about as short as I would go. And, by the way, I wouldnt think of getting a shoft shifter anywhere but Doc Iso if anyone is thinking about one. Cheap, and great quality. Not to mention built with some thought put into it

Intake and exhaust are even bad choices since neither gives a good, noticeable gain on the tC.

TRD rear sway for sure. Handling mods are THE best mods on the tC. You can notice a BIG difference for under $1000, and that is including tires.

though with a good header you will see (not feel) improvements. the OEM exhaust manifold is very restrictive.

One more vote for rear sway.

(You can get springs for around $150, but still have to pay for an alignment. Rear sway is "plug n'play". :D )
