Default Few mods looking into them

Once again I have to ask you guys more questions, it's been 2 months since I've ordered my exhaust system, and I'm hooked I need more done to the car haha.

Just curious which one I should order first... Here's the list:

1) 3.73 Gears (I know which one to get and all not going with 4.10)
2) Lowering springs (Getting them from eibach... question about them is front and rear sway bar good for everyday driving)
3) Aluminum DS and short-shifter... As far as those I'm trying to look up cheaper one than steeda 760$, but please keep in mind if steeda is worth 760$ I will spend that I won't spend less money on a product that's not as good.... What about spydershaft and shaftmaster??

So yea... what order would you do it? And if you can answer the other question would be awesome.

get the gears first, man they are fun, make sure to find a good shop to install and give plenty of wear in time. not much exp. with spydershaft, but i do know that is about $690 and i have never heard anything bad about it, here is a link to buy it if you want to look at it

I've got the Eibach front and rear sway bars and they are just fine for everyday driving.

I would do DS then Springs then gears maybe. Instead of gears i would get lower diamater tire/wheel combo. that will effectively increase your ratio. Also, as you put down more power, it will rev up quicker anyways. I am already having a hard time putting down the power and shifting so quickly. So thats just my opinion.

Go with gears 1st you will have more fun with the gears.
Eibach 2nd / with the springs you might want to get the LCAs and LCA relocate bracket.
DS last.

What gears are in the car now? If you have 3.55's, going to 3.73's IMO is going to be a waste of money.

It's 3.23, just really not sure which would be the best upgrade for me. The gears are the cheapest so I might go with them first, then I guess suspension then DS. Unless anyone got a better order?

I found a DS that's around 600 but has an adapter for the pinion flange, is there a big difference between that or a DS that gives you a new one?
