What should I add/replace next? 200 1989

I don't plan on doing anything to my 244 GL anytime soon, or possibly at all during this summer, but I'd like to get some suggestions on what I should do next to it. I got the ipd anti-sway bars installed about a week ago and then had to get some new tires (ultimately went with the BF Goodrich T/A Control M80s--M65s didn't seem to be a big enough improvement, and no one carried Yokohamas, which are what I really wanted) because one of them was going. In other hardware aspects, the car is stock. I'm guessing the next major suggestion will be somethin suspension-oriented, like new shocks. So, I'm looking for ideas in three categories:

1. Suspension
2. Performance (filters, mufflers, etc.)
3. Audio

My car currently has an Alpine receiver and two Eclipses 5 1/4s, I *think*. Although I don't like not having any heavy bass, the sound is good enough for the driving I do. I'm think that if I do something in the "Audio" category, it will be to add rear speakers, but that's going to cost more than normal because I don't currently have speakers or a cutout for them. So, audio probably be the last thing I consider, unless it's tremendously cheaper.

Give me an idea where to look for each suggestion to find the lowest price. I know you guys are DIYers, but I just don't have a good shop (other than a garage and my dad's traditional male toolbox) and I can get work done sufficiently cheaply.

Thanks for all help. You guys have given great advice in the past (suggested sway bars and tires are working nicely)!
