No way. Your car will feel much better performance wise from the Strano Springs and Koni shocks than 20 RWHP from a set of headers.
Build your car on a strong foundation, suspension/drivetrain/brakes first and foremost before power. These cars have a decent amount of power stock (spins 275 tires).
I have stock springs w/ 130K mi w/ new Koni's and the car is a whole new, controllable, animal...

Shocks and springs will let you learn how your car acts and feels. They are a major performance change, not just looks and coolness. Headers and exhaust are only a relatively slight performance change imho. I guess it depends on if you want the car to handle well or just straight line it.

You definetly get more for your money with good shocks and springs than you would with headers and exhaust. So I would go with suspension first, then power. It's not about looks vs. performance. This is performance vs. performance.

If you are gonna run true duals in the future, it would be better to do the lowering spring and shocks first so that you will be able to see how much clearance you will have to deal with.
