Talking need help, spings or exhaust

which would you guys buy first the springs or exhaust... the springs will give you better cornering and the exhaust will just give you a better look... need help here... my girls (close friends)wont let me buy both... they said i can only have one... i did the sways and strut with out them knowing but the drop and exhaust, that i think they can tell.... so should i go for look or handling.... they both cost about the same... meaning the spings with outside install will run about five hundred and the comtech will cost the same and install i will do on my own.... so what do you guys think....... Thanks

Springs forsure not only does it give you better handling but it gives the car a more aggressive look.

Yeap Springs all the way. Plus if you get the H&Rs same as comptechs, but for $100 bucks less and the installation should not cost you more than $200. That is a total of around $400.00 with tax and S/H. You still have $200 more to waste on your car . The springs do change your looks a lot too.

Having recently had both the Comptech springs and exhaust installed, your decision is tough.... but if I had to choose, it would be springs first then exhaust. Either way you'll love the results.

Also, the springs will eliminate most of the front-end nose dive when braking and the rear sag when accelerating. The car will definitely feel much more stable at all speeds and cornering is improved.

Definitely springs first! The car looks WAY better without the gap between the tire and fender. And like someone else said, go with H&R's (I love mine!). You'll come out about $200 ahead.

Springs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheaper and way more performance. You can take corners at higher speeds and exit corners faster too. So the performance increase is much better with the springs.

Springs !

If you want a better look, then the springs win hands down. If you want better performance, the springs win hands down. Can ANYONE post a dyno from JUST exhaust? Sounds like 3-4 hp gain at like 6500 rpm. Torque? Heck, you will feel more performance gain if you took out the rear seat. If all you want is a better looking exhaust, buy some new tips. Save the money you would spend (waste?) on exhaust after you get the springs, and get those headers.

Ditch the 4x4 look and get springs.
