Default X2's or FLSFC's first

Ive got some money to spend on my car, not a lot but enough to buy and pay to have either one of these installed. I figure a lot of the answers will be the subframes but i figured i would ask anyways. Now my car is already lowered and i want the front to be lower so i was going to go with the Steeda X2's without the spacer to lower it another .5 inch or so in the front. But that would only give slight performance increases but more visual than performance i'd say. Now the subframes will make the car tighter and better planted, but I really dont know what i think i want to do right now. Any input would be appreciated. Oh, and for the FLSFC's, i'd be going with MM non-coated and then just spraying them with black paint after the install.

I did the same thing MMFLSFC without paint, i painted them later. One thing is though, when you get the FLSFC (you'll get them over the ball joints ) paint them before you put them on, because you wont be able to get the top side after they are installed.
