Default What to do next

Ok guys so I don't have much local support here and I am really undecided as to what I should do next. Obviously if I had the money and support I would get it all at once, but that is not really the case here.

My mod list in sig is current. Really torn as to what I should do next.
Options are:

1. Swift Spec R springs
2. JBR RSB
3. CS DP
4. JBR PMM

No plans of going BT anytime soon since I'm pretty happy with stock turbo right now. Although I know I can prob get a bit more out of it with the DP. But is it really worth it?

Pretty much its the only power mod I don't have that I can think of. So it may be time to move on to suspension.

Discuss.....

It really depends what you are looking for. All those mods will serve different functions.

If you are looking to auto-x your car, the RSB should be your top pick.

If you are more into straight line racing, I'd go with the DP for largest performance gains.

If you are having some wheel hop/missing 3rd gear, the PMM will work wonders with that.

Springs...ehh. Mostly for looks

I hated to make this thread due to kind of knowing all this but just can't decide. Been at this for a few days and missed out on JBR's 10% off due to me being unable to make up my mind.

I don't do any auto X only drag racing. So I was thinking the PMM will give me more traction and the springs would help to keep the car planted a little better. Although I love exit ramps and such and push the car pretty hard sometimes around turns.

I just wonder if the DP power gains will be worth the pita install. Thinking I will only see a few HP increase.

If you do strictly drag racing don't bother on the RSB for the meantime. The springs won't do much for straight line racing either. I would narrow it down to the PMM/DP.

The PMM will help you launch better. The DP will get you there faster. Your choice.

Downpipe gets my vote. Then PMM. And don't worry about missing JBR's 10% black friday sale. I think he said his group buy deal coming up will be more that 10%. That's what I'm waiting for.
