What Should I Get Next?

I have a 2010 Cobalt LT with gen4 + 5k HIDs, window tints, and a K&N Drop in filter. Whats the next thing i should 'save up' to get for my balt? The plan is to TC is later on (i know most people will say just get a SS/TC, but I cant due to high insurance = street racing.. gotta wait another yr for the tickets to be off)

But for right now I just want to make it nicer looking and faster. The only problem i have is that were i am living the roads arent always the most smoothest, aka lots of potholes.. lol (gotta love canadian roads.. NOT!)

I was thinking about getting FE5 struts/shocks and lowering springs or get complete exhaust work (only problem with that is that ill have to change it when it gets TC'd) or get new rims and tires.

Any input is welcome, thx

Why not just save the money for the next year, then once the ticket falls off, get a SS/TC?

But I like the FE5 suspension idea. Would make a big difference in handling. Then bolt ons?

Makes sense. Then I vote the suspension work. Then bolt ons. Intake, header, DP exhaust. Then turbo or SC later.
