tough choice

Ok I got most of my mods in and waiting to put em on. My only hang up is my last $1k. I dont know if I should get the a FMIC or a set of coilovers. I want the Helix IC and the Megan COs. I can pick up either for the same price.
I want to drop it but still be able to raise it if I want. The IC is more of a "ana keep the temp down thing".
Whattya say guys?

yeah I was thinking the sway bar I just bought might hold me over til I can get the coilovers if I do get the IC first. Just wanted some opinions.

I'd say the opposite, the IC will give you more power but I'd rather have my car handle. Especially if you plan to AutoX

FMIC and a sway bar. Then save up for a better set of coilovers.
