BAHH! Help me decide.

Ok, I'll do this like a poll:

Here's my situation, I have a bit of money to spend on the Cam further.
I have just purchased a head (which some of you may know/remember) that has work done to it:

The work done to it is: 3 angle valve job, ported and polished, milled to 10-1CR, new valve springs, new stem seals and new studs. This head is coming with new (stock) camshafts and I may purchase some that the owner had machined by webcams.

Now, the dilemma:

I want to get struts (tokico's) to put my whiteline springs in and get my suspension over with.
I already have the tower bar and the whiteline rsb.
However, doing so will eliminate my chance of having the oversized valves I had planned on having done.

Thoughts?

what's more important to you?

Power? or Handling?

I say handling is more important to me.

Power is, but I'm trying to keep the car balanced.
I should've said it before, but if I do the valves, I still can do the struts over the summer, it'll just be a bit longer until I get the extra $$ (maybe a month or so).

Then what are you waiting for? You just answered your own question. Get the valves now and the struts later! You lucky dog!
