Default Christmas gift

so my wife had ask me what i wanted for christmas. so i showed her the upgrades that i wanted. she told me that i can pick from one of these two.
1. 4.10 gears
2. eibach suspension kit

basically her price range is from 500 to 600 bucks. suspension kit i can put myself, but for the 4.10 gears i would want a professional to do it, so i would have to pay for labor which would come up to about 600. i already have the cold air, tune, and exhaust in my car. so what would you prefer to get first.

thanks

Start with suspension, you would be surprised how much the suspension transforms your car. Just shoot me a PM with everything you're looking to get and I'll help you out the best I can.

4.10s FTW!

Suspension can make a good difference too but I would go for the gears unless you track your car.

They are both great mods. I upgraded my suspension first because I couldn't stand the wheel gap these cars came with. I 4.10 installation kit came in today and I will probably have them installed within the week so I'll later let you know my experience with both.

I love my 4.10's. I drove my friends 2008 GT/CS with 4.10's and my own which was stock except the 4.10's and in acceleration, there wasn't much difference in feel (none that I noticed). He would def get me on the highway because he's making about 25-30 more RWHP with his intake and tune but on the low end they both felt great!

I also had Eibach Pro lower springs at the time.

Let me know how it works!

Good point guys! So 2 votes for each.

I will try to get either one before the weekend. But so far I'm leaning towards the suspension.

If you have 3.55's now, then I'd vote suspension.
