Default Finish Bolt-ons or try something new?...

My mods are in my sig. I am currently looking at getting some more stuff to improve my car. It is my daily and driver and only car. I am looking at either getting a new tb (probably Jantzer), new pulley (probably ASP) or some suspension mods. Looking at BMR swaybars, BMR STB, Eibach pro-kit. I can't decide which direction to go in. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks in advance.

What's more important to you; Straight Line, Handeling, or Looks?

I live in Cali and intend to pass smog

In regards to everyone else, my car only sees the track maybe once every 3 months or so. I enjoy cornering and the occassional twisty road and looks don't matter to me (I already have nice rims and my WS6 is flashy enough for me). Will I actually notice an improvement with the tb and pulley?
