Default Friday Survey: From experience what sequence would you buy your mods in?

I'm going back and forth between The Chip & Exhaust or Bilsteins for my first major mod..

I will also "need" the Stoptech Brakes, FMIC, etc..

What would you do first?

Do you want speed or handling to come first? Then go from there.

The chip offers an incredible performance upgrade but I'm partial to suspension upgrades. I like to drive canyon roads and enjoy a well balanced car more than an incredibly fast car. The 225 scoots out pretty good stock so I chose to upgrade the suspension first as I have on every car I've owned. I guess it depends on what you get a bigger kick out of, straight line performance or handling prowess.

Default I opted for new tires and wheels first, Forge DV, then K&N, chip and exhaust all together

The filter, chip and exhaust were all on sale during the New Dimensions Car show. I have a MKI TT, and it handles great stock. I'll eventually get Bilstein PSS9's for the car and StopTech brakes, but when those parts wear out. I figure I have another year or so with each.

Default I suppose that's my dillema.... My only "complaint" is handling

Then again, I also want more power...

Default I would personally do the Bilsteins first. I didn't, but knowing what I know now, you won't be..

...disapointed in the least if you go in that order.

With suspension, go ahead with the Bilsteins and so forth. With power I would go with Chip etc..
