Top 5 most important performance mods?
Hey everybody, just got my 08 tC a month ago, can't wait to start adding onto it. I'm gonna be getting about $11k from reenlisting in the army reserve soon, and I'd like to spend most of it on my car. I have no previous experience working with cars, so I'd just like to know what your opinions are on the top 5 upgrades I should get, I'm interested solely in performance.

1.lowering springs and struts, front and rear anti-sway bars.
2.clutch, flywheel, lsd.
3. lighter wheels and grippy tires
4. turbo or supercharger
5. gauges, engine management
not in that particular order, just the order that they came to me in.

If performance in is your sole concern you have to look at all aspects of performance.
Power-
Intake, Exhaust, Turbo Kit
Braking
Pads, Rotors, Lines, BBK
Suspension
Coilovers would be your best bet.
Top 5 in descending order
5 Intake
4 Exhaust
3 Suspension/tires
2 Brakes
1 Turbo kit
Take your time and have fun. Its best to get one upgrade one piece at a time. Then you can really feel the difference on what each item does. If you do all the mods at once its no fun. Plus you can trouble shoot problems easier with the one mod at a time method.

Invest your $11k instead of blowing it on an econobox. You'll thank me later when you see how much your $11k will grow to.
But if you want to spend it
Turbo kit
Full suspension
Wheels
Lip Kit

Put some into the car - $2k on suspension, bolt-ons & tuning will get you a great handling tC with good pep - and invest the rest.
