Shocks and springs. Forget the steering dampner, unless you are racing it. Put the money on the mufflers.

Im not going to remove the airbox. I want to keep it as close to stock as possibel...all part of my mast plan.

suspension is the most expensive...and yes doing it all at once is a possablity...hmmm.

Your engine mods are only going to give you a few extra ponies, so your stock suspension should cope with that. & you won't need a steering dampner until you get into 904 territory. But I'd still do the Ikons first, as they'll give you your most noticable improvement.
PS a hotter cam would be a good addition to your engine mods.

thats all im looking for...just a little extra power. I think the stock engine is fine...a few flat spots, popping, pesky AI...nothing a simple rejet wont fix.

the steering dampner...well Roads in Los Angeles are some of worst. On most of the Freeways/Express ways/whatever you want to call them, the road itself is uneven....keeping a stright line is a chore.
