Ditto. Wheels first. Biggest visual impact first. Then the drop. The the brakes.

Just my .02.

Bah wheels are a bad choice for the 06, cuz the 06 wheels are bangin already! And they're 19" already, whats the point?! Yer gonna spend like 2k for wheels that are 1" bigger and a whatever style you want.

I did wheels on my 2 vdubs, but thats cuz the wheels were flippin ugly, i would say sway bars cuz we already have a sport tuned suspension with the 06 MTs?! I think you'd be wasting your money on the other stuff

no. unless you track your car, basics are all you need/want. tein flex is way too stiff.

the other thing, if I get the spc front and rear..are those the ones that people have problems with? I remember reading about cambers and reading about some that have snapped but I forget which kind...

If i decide to go upgrade my coilovers..ill need to degrade my front camber from 350evo front to spc front

I much as a I wish I could do wheels and coilovers at the same time, I dont think I can afford it all at once.

coilovers+cambers+sway bars= $2100
Rims= $4,000

In other words, I dont have 6000 to let go at the moment

so I thank you guys for your help, I am going to purchase the coilovers at thsi time and wait for the wheels as well as the big brake kit
