Next mod, and which brand

Hi guys, just wondering, I'm thinking of spending a bit of money on the Z. I just got BMR LCA's, and I was thinking of buying their package that comes with subframes, strut tower brace, and panhard rod. I really think that this stuff would tighten up my handling, and the sfc's would help me out considering i've got t-tops. But... I also found pacesetter headers with y-pipe, coated, for $348US, which is by far cheaper than any other header y pipe combo i've found.
Well, what do you think, any recommendations, and does anyone have experience with pacesetter headers?
Thanks
Todd

from all the reading/research i've done on headers my thoughts are:
you get what you pay for....coating quality, metal thickness, and quality of workmanship...ie fittment

some guys are having no problems with the pacesetter, and they are a good "starter" header. but i think you'd be better off just saving some more cash and buying some better headers. AS&M, Hooker lt's, or the new Jet-Hot lt's

I know a guy with some Pacesetters. They function well enough, but started rusting very early. From the prices I've seen, when the time comes for LTs for me, I'll be going with Jet Hots.

BMR's package is nice too, so might not be a bad investment.

Thanks for the advice guys, I know that I will never be going heavy on the mods with this car. The only other power mod I will probably do is 1.6 rockers with new springs. I think LT's might be a bit overkill in my case, I still want a bit of power down low. But, I don't really know because i've never been in an f-body with headers, short or long. Coating isn't too much of a problem, i can get them done up here from a very reputable shop for not to much cash. So if i buy them uncoated for the 229US, then get them coated up here for around 125can, I would think that would be a good deal right?
