cash coming-what should i do? suggestions!

hello all, i've got some cash coming soon, and just wondering what i should get. my car is a 4ac sprinter, im doing an 4age drop then turbo'ing it, BUT before i do any of that i want to get a solid base down. the only thing done to the car now is a front cusco adj. strut brace and lowered springs.
my budget atm is around $500, so i was thinking abuot getting a whiteline rear anti-sway bar. (i am using this car for drifting) and then a obx daytona race seat.
the only other option i could consider is some wheels (either a set of MA61's or a pair of superlights with good tyres to stop the damn thing understeering like a demon in the wet)
is this the best i could do? any other suggestions from people who know? im aiming for mainly the handling/drifting side of things for now.
thanks for any info

if your after handling dont get the seat first up 
wheels are a good start 15 inch are a happy medium of ride vs cost of drift on rubber, 50 profile is prolly best on a car that size (going on original wheel size)
replace all your suspension bushes to urethane makes a huge difference to point and go steering
full sport (adjustable if you can) shock absorbers are a must
sway bars/anti roll are a must
drop in 4AGE
then LSD and disk brake rear end
then your turbo conversion.
you need to build your car as you progress as a dori master otherwise you could destroy a sweet car by being incompetent
how much cash are you coming into? that list is at least $5-7K if done properly. do i get a cut for being first to jump on the thread?

Alainve: no soup for you!!!
will the front anti-roll bar still make a huge difference with a strut bar aleady in place? i'ev heard that the rear strut makes a hella lot of difference. im thinking about getting front and rear struts or a set of MA61's or a pair of superlights.
maybe 2nd hand cusco camber plates aswell?
how much we looking at for a set of sport shocks? what brands?
my car is quite low, on full lock the guards still (close) clear the wheels, will a set of 7" wide MA61's cause problems?? thats the only reason why im thinking about getting the 14 by 6 superlights.

14" wheels are next to useless if you want to put any kind of respectable brakes on the thing

14" wont fit jack beneath them. Even the Hilux calips at the smaller end of the 4pots wont fit down there. Let alone the RX7 ones.
