I voted for springs, but a short shifter is also a great investment in that price range. I say as long as your phone still works keep it until you get the free upgrade.

Well, it all depends on what you want to achieve. Springs add a little more curb appeal and improve steering. Air dam, may change the way your car sounds but don't expect any noticeable gain from it. Short shifter is always a nice addition, helps you with heel and toeing, keeps the car in the power band increasing driver satisfaction.

Your car should be due for plugs, you should think about that. Invest in some plugs, do an oil change, switch the tranny and diff fluids with some RedLine fluids, go out and buy a detailing kit, your car will thank you.

RADAR!!!

get a valentine. I have one. It is a life saver. Plus if you get a different car, the radar comes with. The shifter or springs won't.

Plus it can potentially save you a lot of money if you tend to go over the limit.

btw I don't speed anymore, and I've never gotten a ticket more then like 18 miles over. I was never reckless..I just had a very unlucky streak.

That and Colorado Springs is voted the nations 3rd biggest "speedtrap".
