Why does everyone always recommend stuff to purchase, when we don't even know the whole story?
Eddy...... what are the ULTIMATE goals for your ride? It appears you want to go faster than a GT, but what other mods have you done? Any brake or suspension work? What make/model of tire are you running and are they doing a good job for you?
Just making a car faster is easy, but you need to control that power by stopping and turning, not to mention the all-important driver-mod!

555's are OK, but not spectacular. If you're looking to do some fairly sugnificant power mods, you should consider a tire that offers more grip, IMO. As for your spring purchase, be sure to get some good shocks/struts valved to your springs. If you're running OEM shocks/struts, the car will ride/handle less than ideal.
My recommendation when doing performance mods, is to have a good sound platform in which to build. This means, address the far less than stellar OEM brakes and at least a couple "key" suspension mods. Brakes.... easily done for $350 via Brakes Upgrade guide in my sig. Suspension..... FLSFC's and LCA's are a fine start. Peep the Jazzer approved LCA's in the Official Suspension Guide
