also let me mention that the other option was doing eibach drop but idk after all I have heard it does not seem worth it lol. You get a set drop thats not always perfect. You get a bouncy ride. And you get blown shocks in a few thousand miles!.. Im going to do BC coils with the SPC rear camber kit and some spacers and slam that ***** to the ground until my new ARK is getting dragged on the pavement hahahahaha.

Lol def get the coils. I regret getting eibachs now, but even with this drop the ark is so damn low I feel like if I was any lower I'd be scraping it 24/7

From the sounds of it I would advise you to get stance coilovers look into stance LX+ coils . Those are the 1's I have. You can lay the frame on the ground and still have room to go lower. BC coils you won't get that crazy drop your looking for lol

I cant because I have an X.. Im really not going to be going super low Im just being an idiot hahaha. I wish I could but with the x you can only go so low plus as it is I have to back over my grass to avoid scraping out of my driveway.. im going to go as low as I can without smashing the bottom of my car on stuff lol. my friend drives a slammed 240 and when I say slammed I mean HOW in the **** does he drive that anywhere. He was backing into my driveway a few weeks ago and ripped his front bumper off hahahahaha

I have the same question as the o.p.! Wheels or Suspension? You guys think that it would look o.k. to drop the car with stock 17ers and spacers? I also am contemplating powdercoating the stocks as well. But.... Don't wanna look cheap and cheezy.

If you're getting coils then definitely before wheels. But if you're getting springs get both lol

Yeah I have the money for the coils rite now but I think im just going to save until the spring and get the coils and rims at the same time.. the only reason is because im leaving for college in 2 and a half weeks so I wont even have time to install or enjoy them.. Im waiting and slowly building my mod stash and im going to buy rims, coils, paint the sport front and mold in my grill, get double RTP, 1080 sub box, diffuser, spoiler, paint my roof, and get the transgo all at the same time.. I figure I need to save up around 5500 bucks and then im done.. I have 2500 in my mod account rite now so I should have enough in a few weeks
