Default Coil overs + tires OR headers and ported intake?

So I have a 2016 3.7l mustang. I have a cold air I take, cat back exhaust, 73mm bbk throttle body, 3.73 rear diff, and an mpt tune. I am trying to plan what I do next and was in-between doing a coil over kit + summer tires or do the ported upper and lower intake manifold and shorty headers (No, I will not do long tubes). So at that I think I'll maybe feel the most difference in the coil overs and tires more than the shorties and ported intake.

Your profile says you live in Illinois. Do you drive the Mustang year round? If so, summer tires will not be good when the temperature gets under 45 degrees.

I have separate rims for winter with brand new continental wintercontact si tires. All weathers aren't enough for winter here and I'm not going to mount and remount tires so I bought 17's for winter. the ones on the stang are 18's those rims I would put summer rubber on.

Okay, I ran the all seasons for a long time with no problems. But Nitto sent me some of the 555G2 summer tires for testing. So I picked up a set of 18" wheels with the Bizzak WS60's mounted. Figured either get those or have to drive back and forth each season to have tires mounted/dismounted.

I've never had a car with coilovers so can't really comment on what to expect there. I like the ported upper and lower intake manifolds though, seems to give a nice performance bump

I've only heard just about everyone who has experience with coilovers is that they love it and to some they say it's a favorite mod. That it completely changes the way a car drives in a handling aspect. I have the base model 6 so the suspension isn't all that great when getting into corners hard.
