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?

for the price of comptech headers you could buy Tein Basics with pillowball mounts and XS Headers and then you'd be rockin!

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
