Default Got some extra cash lying around

Because I know you all love to help people spend their hard earned money, I figured I would post this up for discussion.

So I’m getting married in less than a month. I have been saving some extra cash up as kind of an oh-shit-we-went-over-budget fund. It’s looking more and more like we won’t need it. And assuming I don’t blow it in Vegas on the honeymoon (not going to really have access to it at that time anyway) it will become mod money. My dilemma is this where I spend said mod money. Here are my thoughts, looking for opinions:

This ride is my daily for about 50 miles each day. I rarely have anyone to race around here, but I do like putting up a fight when I get the chance. Also an AP is a must, since I sold my HT I kinda hate the stock tune.

I have about $1200 give or take a bit.

Thought 1: Suspension
Koni yellows are on sale till the end of May so a full set of yellows and springs.
AP: ~$550
Koni Yellows:~$550
CS Spring: $209
Total: Approx. $1300

Though 2: Power
AP ~$550
FP Internals: $350
Test Pipe: ~$100 (maybe DP if I wasn’t so afraid of install)
CS TIP: $109
Total: Approx. $1100

any other ideas?

Current mods are: SSP, Heavy Shift Knob, RSB, CPE CAI

I still have a month before I can officially start buying shit, but Im already antsy.

go with route 2 and send my shift knob pro bono?

ok, maybe not but I still vouch for the power route. you'll be positively thrilled once you get it all in and smash the gas a couple times.

Where do you think this extra cash came from? Ive sold a handfull of shift knobs to MSF members and have built up most of this fund. Seems only fitting to spend it on the car.

Maybe I will have to go all superskaterxes and get a decal with everyone's name who bought one haha.
