Next Mod Big brake kit or coilovers?

Got my new wheels in vetting magic going for the hella flush but look can't do everything in one month so should I drop it space the wheels and stretch the tires first or get the big brake kit

Brakes are needing to be replaced soon though
And if I do the brakes might as well put on front spacers to

What would you do?

IF the brakes are bad, obv. go safety first and get the brakes. If they are still good for a few thousand, go coils.

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish...

If you're working on the stance stuff, the most relevant thing out of the two would be a drop... But if your brakes go before you can get brakes then the smart thing to do would get brakes first....

OP, if your brakes are about to go, I would do the brakes first and the spacers. Although, since you have an aggressive set of wheels, putting some coils will compliment the set up. Overall, if your brakes are almost metal to metal then i would go safety first and go with the BBK set....

I vote coils as well. Unless you plan on tracking your car a BBK is just for looks only. Get a set of inexpensive pads for the time being and enjoy the benefits of coils!!!
