What to do first

Ok guys here's the situation. I'm expecting a decent amount of cash in the near future and I am still undecided of what to do with it. I'm thinking of replacing the factory audio system that I have but at the same time I think that I might want to do some performance mods. Here are my choices:

1. Suspension
2. Audio
3. I/H/E (despite off what everyone says I am NOT swapping engines for many different reasons)

What should I do?

Suspension is one mod you can feel off the bat. I'd recommend doing that first.

If your planning to drop the car solely for looks, please buy the proper spring/shock combo. It'll save you more money and headaches in the longrun.

depending on how much you should do suspension and strut bars. huge difference in driving. and i'd say short shifter just cuz it is a sweet thing to do in my opinion, makes driving more fun

i think suspension is a good idea. Vince is right too, you know what they say... do it once, do it right.

but for me, i got audio first, because i couldn't decide if i wanted adjustable springs or not since I drive my car all year round. when spring rolled around it took awhile to save up again for my suspension.

Hey Jef bro remember the day at Speedtech, go for suspension first man, do the full thing, first off cause your car looks a lil raised, you can drop that down and you can make it look pure sleeper you know, a slammed black civic, make it nice and tight and dont cheat your self out of nething man, go for the best and do it once but do it right you know. Good luck, and gimme a shout when you decide to do your suspension i'll go down with you and we'll do it together, i want to do mine too man.

Thanks but the short shifter was the first thing I got. As far as opinions, I guess suspension it is. If I buy new shocks and springs and keep the old ones I guess that when winter comes again I'd be able to put them on again.
