Drop first, please!

New wheels + 4x4 look = FAIL.

But that's just my opinion...

Drop first, if you can. Suspension is always the first major thing I tackle on a car. Don't get the Megan crap though.

Drop. The car will look and perform much better esp. if your getting coilovers.

But if you must go for looks first, at least get some springs with the wheels.

Drop first for sure. I did rims (OEM 19s) first and quickly decided that the 4x4 look was not workin'.
