No, really I would say the headers, although I've got a bunch of other performance mods.

ME!!!

Seriously though. After my sways and springs, the car drives like a dream. It makes it so much more enjoyable to drive.

We have one country-like parkway in through CT and taking those curves at 80+ is awesome. Before long curves were tedious cuz you had to keep hanging on. Now I just and cruise right through them.

If I only had 1 choice I would go with Springs. You can have intake, headers, exhaust, tires, rims etc, but all that won't mean that much when your car's stock height. So, I'd definitely go with springs first.

not for performance really, although some could say that it puts more downforce on front, but anyway, the bodykit.
