    quick question

    I was thinking about what to do second (just got the cold air intake)

    What should come first:
    lowering springs
    new 17'' wheels
    body kit

    im afraid if i lower it first, the body kit will scrape.
    then i also wanna know if i lower it before i get the wheels will i encounter ne probs?????????

    thanx guys and gals

      i lowered it then got my rims ... your probably going to need a camber adjustment and/or an alignment so i would recommend getting rims first ... since after i lowered it i got an alignment and now that i have rims i need another one ... so save yourself some money

                  Lowered first, no alignment (!!!), buying wheels next week, then alignment, then a prolonged $$ saving period, then maybe kit hehehe...

                  All kits I saw so far don't look like they are uberlow, so I don't think it'll scrape. Then again, I managed to scrape the stock bumper after installing Eibach Pro springs, so there. And it only dropped like 1.5".

                  Where do you shop for bodykits? Only saw 2 Erebuni designs, and 1 Wing West design, but that's it.

                    Why wait on the wheels? That won't change anything at all....get it aligned now. All you will be doing it causing harm to the tires you have on there now...not to mention effecting your handling.
