Although the SSK might be a tad cheaper to buy and have the dealer do the installation, which modification do you think returns the best bang for the buck?

Very expensive to do on an '09. Cats are built into the stock headers. Aftermarket setup is $$$$.

I'd go with lowering the car for more aggressive stance and improved handling.

Tough choice since both are mandatory for me. If I could only do one I'll probably do the drop since I really dislike the factory stance.

To each their own but I've seen the Eibach drop and it's an improvement but doesn't quiet get it done. A bit of annoying space is left there between tire and fender. H&R got it exactly right.....to my eyes at least. Visually, the gap is completely gone but all of the tire is visible and you can still fit a pencil between tire and fender.
