I dont think there's anything wrong with springs and exhausts. Everyone is running various setups around here with no issues. I think @NickFRS is running the H&R springs.

I'm with @indesign. Everyone has their own preferences and budgets for their builds. Just do what you think will fit your needs and budget.

If you end up going w/ the H&R springs. I know perrin hooks up their locals. That way sway you go to go that way. As for your exhaust. I think you would be the first in the Oregon to actually have one. I would love to see it in person/numbers.

If you're just daily driving and never want to track, autox, rallyx, hillclimb your car then Eibach or any spring would be fine. If you want to do occasional races like above, I personally think the RCE Yellow springs are the best. They are less bouncy than all the springs I've used and rode in and handle nicer in my opinion. Surprisingly More comfortable that stock even. They are the mildest of the drops of all the springs however so they follow the fuction > form mantra. You should come to one of the big gatherings and ask to ride in our cars over the same surface and get your own opinion as all of us have a wide variety of springs.
I also recommend the Nameless exhaust over all the others for design, quality, and sound. Sound is subjective however so try to listen to all of them in person as the videos never do a good job in reproducing what you're actually hearing.
