dilema

There are 3 things I want to do to my car
A:Lower my car about 1.5 inches
B:Rims 17' or 18'
C:Get the rest of the body kit
I was going to just lower the car and get rims since I think the Cam looks good w/ just the front bumper. But now I want the full kit Basically I can only do 2 things right now. I just want to know which 2 things you guys think I should do first. I apprecaite all comments. Thanks.
Here is my car now.

A: first no matter what. After you get springs/struts, everything else looks better.

Its a toss-up between B and C. A car w/ only one piece of a kit doesn't look to great. But a kit riding on steelies(Im assuming, i didn't look at pics) looks bad too. But I think I would prolly go kit then save up for rims.

Cool

Eibach springs are pathetically useless on the front of the car. I've never seen anyone happy with their 1" lowering springs.
If you can't afford the D2 coilovers then:
Tokico struts +
H&R drops 1.3" Intrax and B&G are 1.6"...

I reccomend that if you're like me and have the full size spare + lug an extra 150lbs of subs in the trunk, put 1" Eibach in the back and put Intrax or B&G 1.6" in the front. You'll be really happy with the drop up front, and not have the tire sunk into the car in the back.
If you dont' lug around subs and such, just put Intrax all the way around and you'll be fine!
