The throttle body would just about finish off your under hood bolt on upgrades so maybe knock that out the start on the suspension.

do the throttle body then worry about aesthetics unless your doing a full suspension job

Personally, I have a lot of the mods you do and am "almost" satisfied with how my car performs. I'm still debating long tubes since I might go with the hps turbo system once it starts its production. Having said that, I don't have the vmax throttle body. I aim for 1/4 mile times and since that mod doesn't really impact 1/4 mile time I haven't bothered to buy it just yet.

On the other hand, I got a great deal on pedders springs for being one of their two test cars and have to say it is one of the best mods to date. It drastically changes the appearance of the car and with the 18" wheels, you don't feel a harshness in ride. I did get a good deal and if I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have lowered because of how expensive it can get so that might be an issue you might look into. But if you think you can swing it, you will love the way your car looks lowered.

Lowering the car make a huge cosmetic difference. One that you won't understand until you do it and then you wonder why you didn't do it sooner

but might as well lower it and do other suspension work at the same time... so if he doesnt have the cash to do it all at once might as well save up a little more for a better package

The difference that the Vmax TB makes to your car is hardly felt. While lowering will makes you feel like driving a real sports car
