I waited 36k to do mine and I can see places where my body panels are slightly misaligned as well as when I installed them you can tell that the chassis (sub frames) were not perfect. I mean I have T-tops so maybe that added to my weakness but for the $200 or so that they cost DO THEM FIRST and then get a cat back and gears.
you cant go wrong with subframes, because no matter what mods you plan to do to the car they will always benefit!
just my 2 cents.

It's definitely not a good first mod IMO. First mods are generally, intake, exhaust, tires, etc. The whole point of modding cars is to increase power/performance. A new clutch isn't going to do a thing with stock power.
