I finally got my hands on a 2019 ND in Soul Red and I am honestly so stoked to get it out on the canyon roads here in Malibu. I've got about $2,500 to spend right now. I've been looking at the Progress front sway bars and the Flyin Miata exhaust setups because everyone says they're the gold standard. But then I read some people saying the sway bar is overkill for a daily driver and now I'm worried it'll be too stiff. Also I want it to look a bit meaner, maybe a front lip?
If you had a couple grand, what performance and style accessories would you prioritize to get the best of both worlds?

In my experience, going too stiff with the Progress Technology Front Sway Bar 1.125 Inch ruins the daily drive on bumpy roads. I've tried many setups and found it's better to stick with:
- Koni Sport Yellow Adjustable Shocks for control without the harshness.
- Flyin Miata Hush-O-Matic Exhaust for nice sound that wont drone. Going too aggressive early on usually just leads to regrets, tbh.

Agree with the shocks. In my experience, safety and heat reliability are vital.
- Go with Michelin Performance Tires for grip.
- Just get EBC Brakes pads for higher friction coefficients.
