I have an 03 coupe with brembo brakes and stock 18" wheels that I'm finally starting to modify and wanted some opinions on what I should do first, wheels or coilovers?

I've painted my stock wheels black for a temporary cheap fix lol so they aren't terrible.
Also I just ordered a JIC single exhaust and swapped out the headlight bulbs with 8000K's and changed over to led's for the city lights, markers, backups, and dome lights.

Anyway I have around $2000 to spend on it so if I got wheels I would probably stick with 18's so I could get a higher quality wheel since I wouldn't need to buy tires.

What do you guys think?

 

i would go with wheels

 

wheels if your going for looks first. suspension will make it more fun to drive IMO

 

drop first. always

 

Drop first. Nice wheels with a wheel gap looks awful.
Dropped on stock doesn't look awful.

 

I'd go coils. Best money I spent on my car so far.

 

Does anybody know if the D2 coilovers are any good? I would like to get some jic's but the D2's are about half the price.

 

of course get the drop first...wheels with no drop is a big no no...

 

drop first then wheels or you'll be riding high..

 

guess it's settled then, coilovers first! After I install coilovers should I take it to a normal alignment shop to get it all set right or what? Just wanting to know if I can do the install myself since I read something about corner balancing.

Thanks for all the replys! Oh and I just installed my new jic single exhaust the other day! It sounds badass! lol And sorry.....no video of it yet

 

Coils have been my best investment so far. KWv2!

 

what's up with megan racing or D2 coilovers??? are they junk? Anybody use Jic's?
