Default ECU upgrade or M030 upgrade?

Ok...I have my '03 2.7 Boxster upgraded with an EVO V-Flow intake, headers, and an iA exhaust update. I have a grand left to work with for now. I'm undecided if it would be better spent on the ROW M030 suspension upgrade from Suncoast, or getting the ECU upgraded. Which ever one I don't do now, I'll probably do next winter. I'm leaning toward the suspension update.

Opinions ?

put in the suspension and take off a few pounds and you'll get the benefit of both

The suspension is about $1000 by itself. Are you planning to install it yourself? If not, it'll be another $500-$1000 to install.

Yea, I can install it myself.

I think I've pretty much decided to get the suspension on there now (ROW M030) and wait for the ECU update until later this year.

Power is nothing, without control (I think that was a Pirelli ad). Isn't your car still under warranty? Wouldn't a dealer notice the reflash and void out the warranty? Make the car handle better, sign up for some NNJR DE/AX events and work on the driver, not just the car
