1. Get a Header and a strut bar

or

2. Get lowering springs and a strut bar

open to all suggestions, opinions, comments, etc...

You'd might as well finish up the exhaust. Otherwise, I'd get the lowering springs.

I'd go with header and strut bar... the bar makes a big difference and is really cheap.

I would say the header. But the ECU tune should definately be in your future.
