Cams, springs and headers...oh my!

i have a 93 p/u 2wd with a 22re and i was trying to decide whether to get a cam new leaf springs or a new exhaust. i would like to do the performance mods first but also need new leaf springs at the same time. what should i do that would be the most beneficial. any other ideas. thanks.

I would go with headers and bigger exhaust for mods first. Then the spring, then a cam.

never ignore your susp! but keep in mind its all about $$$ and time leafs would take longer than headers to install but their cheaper than headers for the most part. I picked up some add a leafs when i installed my headers. I love both no i can drive fast and still be steady. remember $$$$$ before plan:P
