Get your springs first dude. Suspension is more important than a header.

Normally I would say get suspension just beucase when I got my suspension for my GSR I regretted not buying that before my I/H/E, but since you are just getting springs, I would say wait for the suspension until you get shocks and struts together so you don't have to take everything apart again to put new schocks on when yours are blown.

I agree with jgrotkier. I would wait on both till you can get the springs and shocks.

I'm in the same position. I spent $1500 on audio bits and have a CAI & the OEM kit. I'm saving for Koni Yellows + springs next.

Exhaust is going to be the upgrade you will feel the most untill you go BOOST so do the header now and get the shocks and springs at the same time because stock shocks suck with lowered springs

ya thats what i was thinkin too..ya itll be more expensive to get full suspension package but way more worth it. ya prolly slap on some headers make it a little quicker. thanx for all your help! :thumbup:

Dont buy anything and save the money for shocks with your springs.

Performance wise, as far as track times, you're going to see more improvment in upgrading the suspension, than your standard bolt on engine upgrades

But I guess it all depends on what you're looking for, straight line acceleration, handling, both?

get the header or wait till you can afford an entire suspension setup.
