How much do you have to spend? Shocks and springs cost alot more than a shifter or sfc's.

I don't think you need SFC's yet, for you they would just be more weight.
If you dont have exhaust and oil and transmission pan clearance problems (like me) go lower.

Yeah, I know they cost more than twice as much as the other two options. I don't have too much to spend, but, I would find the money to buy shocks and springs.

I hate taking a nose dive when I brake!

a V6 drag racer wouldnt benefit from a set of SFC's at all, unless he were making a lot more torque than a stock V6, they add weight and reinforcing the body isnt much of a big deal unless you are pulling the front end off the ground

Shocks AND springs would be pricey.

Upgrading the shocks alone though is a very good investment...even if your stockers are still in good shape. They are OK, but as always...there is better.

Going from stock oranges to Bilsteins was great. I still vote for the shocks.

If I decide to get shocks, I couldn't help but get springs too.
