Default What to get?

Looking to get some new stuff for my car and just want to get the most for my money. Here are my options:
Engine- Lt's with catted y, K&N intake, plugs/wires
Suspension- lowering springs, bilstein shocks

The plugs/wires and the suspesion are all things that are worn and have never been replaced to my knowledge so I figure now would be a good time. But my main question is what, dollar for dollar, will be most effective in terms of engine upgrades? I know the headers help more than the intake but they also cost 3 times as much. I don't want to get anything I can't do myself because I dont want to spend a huge amount of money for an install and I just don't trust any shops around here.

if your keeping your motor mostly stock get ac delco plugs and wires (stock).......
k&n cold air intake is great for power and sound. at least on the LT1's

The chrome emblems are taken care of courtesy of my girlfriend. No idea how long it will take to get them though, how long did yours take?

And would what I have and possibly the headers be considered mostly stock?

Should I stick with the stock plugs still or is there something else I should go with and this may sound stupid but is there any way I can get some red wires without sacrificing performance and paying out the A** for them? My engine is fairly clean I just want something to make it look nicer.

Taylor or MSD wires. You can get Taylor wires through Summit Racing for $65. The MSD wires will run you about $100 but I prefer the MSD myself.
