Help me decide next performance mod!
Some background info to base your decision on. The car is my DD and I consider myself more of a drag race/straight line acceleration type. I like going through twisties but don't autocross or anything serious like that.
Vote and if you aren't feeling lazy explain your choice.

Driveshaft. Because it's a better performance hit over the D-specs, IMO.
I was close to voting other and saying for Long-Tubes. After which you just about tapped out for performance and staying N/A

Aluminum DS. Many choices out there, just depends on whether or not you want to use an adapter plate or change out your pinion flange.
Next line of mods would be wider and better gripping tires.

Can't and won't do long tubes because of smog regs in cali. I know, I know I already have an O/R H but that only takes me an hour to swap with basic tools. The longtube require 8 hours plus which there's no way I'm doing every other year. Believe me if it wasn't for that they would've been on a long time ago.

Nitrous, turbo, or s/c........ 
OK OK seriously if you're never going to go FI then do the driveshaft. Otherwise if you want to taste some power but not spend $4k+ then hit a 75 shot of nitrous.
Screw suspension mods beyond LCAs, rear springs, and adjustable panhard bar. These cars handle pretty well to begin- I'd keep the funds allocated towards acceleration.

I voted driveshaft. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I like it because you could definately feel a difference before and after, plus it just felt more connected after install, if that makes sense. There doesn't seem to be any more slop in the drivetrain.

I would go with the D-specs personally. Your car is lowered and they may improve ride quality a smidge along with handling which I know I would notice more than the sub-10rwhp you may pick up from the driveshaft.
