In what Order should I do these

I'd like to do all 3 but have the $$ to do one at a time every 6 months. Which order should I go for the following
1. Buy springs to lower car
2. Buy 18" wheels
3. Buy MagnaFlows exhaust to install
Thanks

I want to do all of those too. Wheels too much at one time, so for me that will be down the list. If I could find some info on the Stone headers, I might do that with the cat back Magnaflows in one shot. Springs and camber kit (if needed) with sways could be one shot. And in between these somewhere would be the CAI.

springs, wheels, exhaust. Just the way you numbered them. In that order. I'd consider getting sways too. Big diff in handling. I'm not too fond of aftermarket exhast though.

I would say go before show....
but i would recommend springs first because it lets you go faster through the turns.... and then exhaust for that extra 5 or so hp and then for the looks(wheels)... i dunno about the rest on the forum but thats how i would do it

I'd go in this order:

1 springs
2 wheels
3 exhaust

Exhaust doesn't do much except for looks. IMO it is a waste of money. HP increase is almost null. I like my stock exhaust cuz they are quiet. Just buy some nice tips for looks and you'll be set.

I suggested drop first then wheels is because without drop the wheels might still be ok. But after the drop, your wheels might rub. It'd be a headache to fix that after you got the wheels. But if you dropped first, then you can know early on if the wheels you like will rub or not. And you tend to drive with more care after the drop then to have just wheels. Just my 0.02$
