Default Install S-Trim or Suspension

What should I do first? I have an S-Trim that I haven't installed yet cuz I didn't have the money for the tune. I will soon be getting about $500-$600 & not sure if I should buy some quality shock/struts to match the H&R SS springs that I haven't installed yet or get the supercharger installed & tuned. It is my DD & not a race car. My suspension is totally stock. So what do you guys think???[/align]

I would complete one project at a time, put the supercharger on, get it tuned but dont expect to get to much traction. Then save up and when you have the money finish the suspension. I would be pissed if i had a s/c sitting in my room for months and it wasnt installed

I keep it hidden so that I won't see it.

hahaha. well if you won't mind having traction problems when you get on it for awhile, then go ahead and slap the thing on

But if you don't want to deal with that get the suspension.

I'd probably do the supercharger though

It's either slap on the blower & have it tuned or get some Tokico HP shocks/struts, poly isolators,MM sub-frame connectors & maybe some lower control arms.
