What to save up for next?

At a kind of crossroads...I've done the basics: motor mount, downpipe, test pipe, boost controller, DashHawk, intake (once it gets off of backorder), turbo inlet pipe, BPV...I'll be getting a boost gauge once that vent pod comes out. I also have a BCD that I will install at that point, also.

The next mod is going to be an expensive one...either wheels, a FMIC, or an AccessPort. I am thinking about some lowering springs as well. So what would you do, given those choices? I am leaning towards either the FMIC or AP as the next mod, but can't figure out which would be best. I was also looking at the upgraded top mounts, but I just don't think they'd be as good as the front mounts at the end of the day.
 
I have the 3.5 ets tmic, i would say it gives atleast as much power gain as a cia. So a upgraded intercooler is what i would do next, for reference me and my freind on here "nig3" have similar mods except i have the stock dp and he has the stock tmic. he made 269hp at 18psi, i made 267hp at 17.6psi. so its safe to say an upgrded ic is about like a dp as far as power.
 
I dont know if your just listing power mods or want to get into suspension. If you dont already have the short shifter and shifter bushings that helps a ton. The Eibach pro kit is out if your not looking to do coilovers and I've heard that paired with the cobb or hotchkis rear sways make a real nice improvement. Then some lightweight wheels will help with rotational mass and that way you can better use the power you already have.
