Power or Bling? What to do first?

[TinSnips]

I'd be getting the handling to match the performance you have now before anything else. But coilovers wouldn't be on my shopping list. Brakes and suspension is the way to go next in my opinion. Don't see the point of having a fast car that you can't turn or stop.

Yep. Maybe brakes and suspension is the go. Good power figures at the moment, so gotta get it to handle and stop. I've got King Super Low springs at the mo plus front Whiteline strut brace. Any recommendations on suspension and brakes?

imho just do the blower now. it will be the biggest gain ever. it will feel so different to when you did your cam. you can end up spending thousands and thousands on small things that wont be worth the cost, and will bring your new car to a non standard/unrealiable manor. just fit the blower and if it wont stop at all and feels unrealiable/dangerous then do a brake upgrade definately. you've already got heavy duty springs and strut brace. thats all you need.

talk to someone with a blown 6.0l and you wont be able to resist... which i had the dosh!

Bilstein B8 shocks and a host of urethane for the suspension. 4 spot Harrop brake kit would be great. 6 spot AP - probably overkill - but hey.. if the cash is there!

so you spend all this money on power and then ruin it with bling. I don't get it myself.

I hate cars that have random vulgar crap plastered all over it.
Its beyond me what motivates people to ruin a perfectly good car with gawdy additions...

No gawdy random bling on mine ... just looking at maybe getting another set of wheels just to set it off. Probably confused you guys by saying power or bling. By bling I meant wheels, brakes, suspension. My avatar show the car, even though hard to see. Has the G8 Pontiac front end, "lip" spoiler on the rear, HSV 20" wheels.

Lower and big brakes... then go fast bits.
