is the suspension still stock? i would say get a spring/ strut combo or coilover system next. an exhaust on a car with a stock suspension looks retarded imo. if you're planning on adding a race header, cams, etc, you should stay away from the reflash and go with a k-pro after that.

Put a Race Header!

You don't run lean with a Race Header and CAI. You'll run rich.

You will run LEAN if you have a CAI, Reflash and Race Header.

Get a Race Header, and save up and get a K-Pro as the third mod.

OR

Put some good tires on the car, if all you have is a CAI.

kingmotorsports.com has a koni suspension kit for $715 that is pretty good, h&r's cup is good as well, or you can go with koni struts and tein springs. as far as coilovers, tein, tanabe, and hks all make great systems. as far as a stock suspension with an exhaust, i just think it looks a lot better with the car lowered first. you'll be much more pleased with a race header and a kpro than a reflash and exhaust. just get an o2 sim for the header and your check engine light will stay off.
