Depends on how much drop you want...but the max stock springs are crap, unless you want that luxo-boat feel.

I have maxspeeds...but they didn't drop me enough to my liking, so I'm going for Tein S next...which might be too low for some people.

I'd wait for independent dynos on the TS ECU and hotshot headers before buying them. If they show good gains (like 20 for headers, 10+ for ECU) I'd recommend those. Thats my plan for the summer

save your money and wait for the ind test on the ecu (we will be doing it and some re-tuning on it soon) do you have warranty still on your car now? if you still want it and you have it don't do the headers yet
