I think I'm going with exhaust first..I have enough to buy exhaust and work a little on interior. If I buy drop kit I will have a bunch of money left but not enough for exhaust lolI dunno what do you think?

Exhaust was one of the first things I did as well. Thats a tough choice. In retrospect, I would have done wheels and springs first instead of last. And the springs are only about 160 bucks or something. Check out neverenoughauto.com. Thats the best price for the Tein s-tech springs and junk. In the end though, you gotta do what you want, because you are the one driving it everyday.
