Tires+Wheels+drop

I was just wondering after searching around the boards what is the best way to go with this. I really want a new set of tires and rims to start my modding off. Does it matter what order this is done in at all? Also would like a bodykit one day as well with a small drop on some 20's but was wondering what all i would need. Don't want to forget anything. As i can't look at a whole lot where I am now, i'm trying to prep for when I return home. So far with a drop from what i see i need front and rear camber kits so the tires don't wear as fast. Any help with this would be great guys and gals.

how much drop are you looking for? get some forged rims like volk, iforged, etc. and what kit do you want?

can't find to much stuff on bodykits right now. Not sure how much drop either don't know much about it. I know i don't want it completely slammed to the ground but i do want some drop to it. Not sure on the measurements and whatnot. Not sure if i should focus on getting a bodykit first or tires rims and drop.

if i were you, i'd get rims+drop.. you can drop it a lot on coilovers, or an inch or two on springs. if you decide you only want a slight drop you could get some tein h or s techs to drop it about 1-2 inches depending on your car/which springs.. what kind of car do u have anyways?

07 6mt dg coupe. So i'd have to go with some coilcovers with my drop? How about some camber kits and how many of each. i'm assuming 4 correct?

it depends on the drop you want.. if you want to go lower than ~2 inches you need coilovers, which will probably require you get camber kit. most people just run rear camber but front is also recommended on most occasions. if you drop it w/ springs you probaby won't need camber kit unless you want to have no wear

Thanks for all the help. Any recomendations on say a set of 20's with how much drop? I'll try to find a pic of how much of a drop. And what are some types of camberkits and coilcovers that are recommended? Sorry to be a pest. Desert won't exactly let me look at much over here.

springs will drop you from 1" to ~1.7" and if you're dropping it an inch or less, you may not even need the camber kits... you will only need 2 camber kits, a front a rear (both sets comes equipped fro left and right sides)
