Help with a decision

I have a decision to make.

Thermal Cat-back

Or

Koni yellows and H&R springs.

And please, no "get tiens" or "get an N1" I've decided on these parts, and will eventually end up with both. But the love of my life has decided she will be purchasing one or the other for my upcoming birthday, and I have no idea which to get. What would you do?

I currently have a CAI and pulleys if that helps.

it's up to you....do you want your girl to buy you the most expensive one? cuz that'd be suspension....why don't you ask her....say do you want it look better and handle better? or sound better? then let her decide since she's buyin. if it were my choice, I'd got the springs/shocks

he already had the intake, pullies, so with the exhaust and a cat, he would basically be set, if you read his post from a few weeks ago in the N/A forum you'd see why i changed my mind

with sport springs (1.4) your camber isn't bad, you still get decent tire wear. A camber kit would be a plus though, especially for the front.

wow, I really didn't expect such a lopsided showing.

Yeah, my woman loves me. She's a big fan of the car too, so she kinda gets an added bonus. Gets to see me happy getting them, installing them (love working on the car.) and she gets to ride around in a car that's a little more hooked up.

lol, problem is she has no opinion. every time I try to get her to pick, I get the "Uhhh, I don't know. just pick one." Seems obvious which one you all would pick though.

Go with the springs/shocks. H&R sports w/ koni yellows is a great setup. You'll love it. Just make sure you use the lower perches, otherwise you won't hardly look dropped at all.

I did suspension first and I'm glad I did. Completely changes your appreciation of the car. I suggest you do the same thing. Then when you finally get the exhaust, you can make full use of those extra 3-4 horsepower
