Lowering springs and sway bars or long tubes?

I have managed to save the money for either long tube headers or hotchkis lowering springs and sway bars. My question is for those of you that have these mods or preferably both, which one offers the most bang for the buck?

I already have 6#lower, JLP ram air, throttle body, delta chip, high flow cats and bassani cat back. any advice would be great. Thanks

Matt

Neither...IMHO. The LT may give you a few ponies(maybe 10 or so) and maybe 15 ft lbs of torque. They sound great though.

The lowering kit gives you a bit better traction but is mostly a looks thing.

Bang for the buck in a straight line...Nitrous.

Bang for the buck with turns...Lowering kit. You get the "looks" bonus with a lowering kit.

My lowering kit is my favorite mod to date.

There are lowering kits, and then there is the Hotchkis kit. My truck handles like it is on rails, and you will not be disappointed.

The long tubes should be one of the last engine mods just to pick up that last bit of power.
