500$ Mods
What do you think someone could do with $500 to modify the RX with?
Specifically, what could I do next after I get all of my parts in my sig up and running? I am thinking of DLIDFIS or 2GCDFIS (havent reasearched much, can ya tell?) and -SE rear end.
Just gathering Opinions right now, Thanks!

PerfectCircles list, in that order, then the GSL diff, unless you plan on swapping the front struts too. Somewhere in the middle, I'd add new poly bushing too. Do the springs/struts/shocks at the same time, not 1/2 and 1/2.
I spent somewhere around 1100 for Eibach Pros/Illuminas, ST sway bars, ball joints, tie rods, polys, 4 calipers/discs/pads, parts only, had the GSL diff on hand.

You've already got the go fast parts for the intake and exhaust and the stop fast parst for the brakes. Now you need the handle fast parts for the suspension.
Pay attention to what trochiod and perfect_circle have already said. +1 on poly bushings, spring, shocks, and struts plus steering components as needed.
Make it tight it really makes a huge difference.

Amazing to say the least.....And i LOVE These hawk pads..and yes this is my daily driver and i will be autox her as well very soon. I love them! But again, i ugraded EVERYTHING...NEw calipers, new Stainless Steel Brake lines , slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. i have NEVER felt the car this GREAT when it comes to its braking performance. i HIGHLY recommend these slotted rotors (Power SLots) and the other items i did buy for the FB.

Front RB swaybar, springs, and illuminas. I admit that will probably take you beyond 500, but wait one more paycheck and get it done together. The swaybar makes the biggest difference, but not sure if you would see that on original suspension or not. Most likely, I think you would. No body roll still means no body roll even with soft springs and shocks...
