Default I *ordered* a nonsport, then did a chip/filter, then suspension. Wheels are next.

QuattroRocket is right, tho. If you have factory sport pack, I'd get wheels then suspension. If you have a nonsport, I'd do suspension first or else your cool new wheels will look like a 4x4. I've seen it done, and it's not pretty. After wheels, I'm doing exhaust, and then I'll probably go to coilovers. Who knows? Do the chip first, IMHO.

Default Common sense suggests...

being able to use your new-found horsepower before adding the go-fast stuff. Do the suspension first... do I practice what I preach? Helllllll no... my GN can turn tires into a lot of white smoke and go nowhere in a real hurry... but it's so much fun.
