Default What mods should I do next?

I wanna get some tokico blue struts and some tein s tech springs to lower my car a little...
but i also wanna get rims.
which should i do first?
the rims will cost quite a bit more.. cuz i will have to get tires as well.
but i wont be doing either until i get my next financial aid check from the college.

Get suspension first. No matter how nice your wheels are, it'll still look like crap with the car sitting 5ft above them... Drop on steel wheels looks better than nice wheels with massive wheel gap. Not to mention ur car will handle a little better which is always a plus.

+like 8 bazillion.

Drop it on steelies, and get those hubcaps cleaned up and you'll be looking pretty good IMO. I have always thought dropped on steelies/hubs looks better than the 4x4 stance with 16's.

i'm with this guy.a nice drop with steelies looks better than a nice set of wheels with stock height. have you look into a used set of wheels with decent tires? sometime you can find some really good deal there
