I would just stay stock unless going with a wild engine combo.

1.6 rockers would be a down grade from the factory 1.7. Save your money for a cam and tune to go with the headers.

If I were to do it over again, I would more than likely stay stock. You can also do the roller upgrade to stock rockers. If I were going to buy aftermarket rockers again I would go with a shaft mount style. Aftermarket rockers are nice to upgrade, but there are tons of guys making good HP with the stockers.
