What do you guys think i should do?

Have a decision to make pretty soon.....this is how it goes
just bought rims a few weeks ago..not mounting for another
month...but ill have a budget of about 4-5k in a months time
and this is the decision...either i can get:


06 front sport bumper, 06 sport skirts, 06 headlights & tails, 03-05 rear spoiler, tail & valence overlay, clear corners, tires, coilovers

OR

Big Break Kit: 8 pot front 14'' rotor, 4 pot rear 14'' rotor


*bare in mind if i get the BBK...id have to wait another few weeks before i get tires and coils....so go for the BIG payout with the BBK but have to wait longer to put everything on...or make myself happy in the short term?

Big Break Kit, why spend money on body mod to look stock. If you spend money on body modification go and do it right and go after market. Lights I can see why because I did mine.

if your just going for looks>>aka:BBK
save your doe and do the appearance mods.

BBK 's are great if you use them>>track, etc..
if you dont..there a waste of money since the
OEM's will perform as good for "normal driving"

I spent 8k on my dual caliper (per wheel) on my vette
but needed them to slow me down at 150+..see my point

badboy i get what your saying but i bought sf challenges...
a lot of gap behind them without bbk..but with bbk wow they
look amazing...so i think im going to go with the BBK as the
next major purchase...then just wait out a bit and then
buy everything else...itll be a better payoff thnx tho for
the input
