springs or intake

I just picked up a fit.

I don't know what to do first:

1) get lower springs
-or-
2) get intake

haha hmmmm..

what are some of your opinions?

personally i'm leaning a little towards the springs first.

Actually if i had the money i'd get new rims first.

that totally depends on what your ultimate goal for the car is, performance or style! both are great starting mods, i'd do both! lol... but the final decision is up to you!
