What to do next?

Things I've done:

GReddy EVO3 cat-back
OpenFlash UEL Headers
OFT stg 2 UEL Tune
MTEC shifter springs
Continental DWS tires (it's my DD)

Not too sure on what to do next. I'd like to throw the tS/STI trim pieces on but my mindset says to go for performance before looks. Any suggestions?

sit back and enjoy it?

but if you are really looking for more engine performance...your next option is FI. You may be able to squeeze out a few more HP with custom tune and the rest of the exhaust pieces but you are close to being done NA

Look into Crawford's Power Blocks if you want to stay NA. I plan on going OFT, OFH and crawford BPB once my bank account stops looking so sad. Maybe after that go phantom ESC, but I'm really not looking for huge power from my car...

Suspension is something I hadn't thought about! I would love a lower right height, but nothing #stancenation worthy. Just a little less fender gap. Where should I look? Springs? Do I need camber bolts or just get it aligned?

That'd be cool. I have a powerlifting meet next week and figuring out good recipes to make beef and rice more tasty are always welcome

rce yellow springs are a good way to lower the car a bit, improve handling and overall ride. also getting some better rubber (michelin pilot super sports) will really liven up the car.

Should I buy anything else to go with the springs? Or are the springs themselves the only thing required for proper alignment?

No.

In fact, the packets must be sourced from the original Del Taco location in Barstow (or Yermo if you are nitpicking), CA.
