Default What do you think I should do next?

So summer is coming up and Im gonna have have some money to dump in my car. So which of these would you get 1st, 2nd...

[hr]

1. GIAC Chip, but im running 17psi with the diode mod and lemmi so I wouldnt see alot of performance out of this..
2.Custom Exhaust, 2 magnaflow mufflers, but im not sure if i shoulddo a TP, eventhough my state only scans for codes.
3. H&R springs, I dont know if i should get the shocks too, I got sport shocks, what do you guys think?
4.FMIC(cheap one, probably ebay)

I would do the suspension first; and definitely replace both springs AND shocks. After that, custom exhaust. I don't know about the TP; if you think it'll net you significant gains with the diode modand (I'm assuming) a stock K03 turbo, do it. If it probably won't really help, wait until you go BT. Same for the FMIC - wait until you've got a serious turbo that stands to benefit from it.

I was thinking the same, only exhaust first. I thought you could do only springs if you have sport shocks?
Anyone else?

exhaust is like 300 maybe if you go custom and get it done at a shop and springs with shocks should hit right around 800. but my choice would be spring/shocks and get her a little closer to earth.

The springs and shocks are 678 and the exhaust will come out to about 500 with dual magnaflow mufflers and a tp. So they are kinda close. I guess im gonna paint my sport wheels and see how it looks but yea, I will probably go with the suspension. Will H&R sport springs eat through my tires?
