Comptech headers or suspension?

So, as of right now my car looks like this.



Well, in addition to my 3A tips and m3 trunk lip. I could jump on some comptech headers for 475, used or koni yellows/ground control coilovers for 350. 475 is kinda pushing it but which would you go for. Obviously my car needs a drop badly! Which would you do? Headers or springs?

Comptech. Good price, good quality, won't find again. Suspension you can get anytime.

see thats what I was thinking too, CT headers for that price is just super cheap. I do have Eibach springs but I just wanted to save up and get shocks/coilovers instead. I wish I can buy both but this car is already sucking all my money
