I need your help (yes you reading this)
Like a lot of people getting my tax refund back soon probably about 600 dollars or so to play with now my car is still under warranty for about 4 years so I basically need something mazdaspeed thats worth it or something I can change before I have to bring it in for something. What I was thinking about was the mazdaspeed springs but how longs will my shocks last with them and our they a good drop? I've searched about it and they all say your shocks will break quicker but no one really gives a rough time frame. any ideas? 
Something i forgot to mention is mods i have so far is AFE short shifter, K&N intake and thats it

I just ordered Tein springs, I have a friend that has MS springs, I didn't notice much of a drop, it was like 1/2" front and back. He has had them in for 2 years with no shock trouble. The tein S-techs will lower it 1.4" front and .8" rear, I am excited
Out of that list...Mazdaspeed coilover kit would be worth it...but not just the springs. AP is pretty sweet.
I used my tax money on a Burnout kit, Evo-R trunk lip, rear aero flares, and Tein S.Tech's. Gawd...its gonna be nice.

Accessport because having an extra 300-500RPM and a bit more mid-upper end kick is a lot of fun. The extra oil metering and lowering the thermostat temp point also helps significantly. Furthermore, if you decide to go FI later, the Accessport doubles as an ECU programmer, so you don't need to purchase another engine management unit. It also has useful datalogging.
No other item on your list comes close to offering as much practicality and versatility.
Also, get it from MazdaManiac.com. That's rx8club's retailer of choice for Accessports.

hmmmm - cobb seems to be the winner so far.
I voted for cobb as well mainly because of the over all benefits your car will receive.
For visuals and some performance increase, the springs wouldn't be a bad idea either. I'm assuming that since you still have a 4 year warranty your car is fairly new. If so, i'm sure that if you decided to pick up springs, you can probably get a lot of time outta your shocks before they're blown.
