I like the poll but there's no point in making a super modded engine if the suspension can't handle it. So I think the suspension mods should be directly tied to the engine mods.

+1, plus, i dont know many people that do all show no go cause our cars (at least the SVT) already looks great.

Yeah... I picked performance, but that's not realistic. It'd be senseless to mod performance and not mod the suspension. However, those are certainly the two most important categories. The SVT already looks pretty good, and the stock audio is well, not great, but far better than most stock audio systems.

I go with what I can afford. And the first one is always audio because I just transplant most of what I had in previous cars over to my new one. Then I drool over what type of performance options I have, then realize most are too expensive.

Completely agree. i'd rather put money into suspension over serious engine mods (CAI and exhaust not included... i'd do those... but suspension first)
Edit: i dont think it's fair calling the engine mods "performance" because suspension (handling) is performance too. just a different type of performance

I third the motion, even though I want to do everything eventually. Performance would come second, and aesthetics third.... As I already love the look of our cars, quickness can only be improved so much, and so far I've been more than happy with her performance but would love to totally revamp the suspension  maybe I'll stumble across a huge bag o cash soon.....
