RB suspension package or RB exhuast?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but im looking for some advice,

im really bent between gettin the RB suspension package which are the springs and the sway bars, or the RB exhaust. they are both about the same price, and im probably eventually get them both over the span of a year, but which one should i get first??? any advice or comments? thanks i'd appreciate it!

Unless you go autocrossing or canyon carving often, get the exhaust. Not that there will be any notable performance gains but at least you'll have a louder exhaust note that you can always enjoy any time of day.

Yeah, I agree with the above. If speed is your thing, go for the exhaust. If handling works for you, go for the bars/springs. I can tell you since I installed my bars the tires are the weak spot. How's 40-45 mph in a right turn at an intersection sound? For real.

Man, suspension mods first, consider just the sway bars, with a tanabe setup. Or, you may want to wait for a praxis cockpit adjustable ride height system to come out.

I say suspension first because it makes the car safer, you are better able to avoid an accident with better handling.

I've got the RB exhaust and I absolutely LOVE the way my exhaust sounds. However, the suspension is going to dramatically improve your car. You will love driving your car with the suspension setup. I say get the suspension package first.
