Those are really nice choices you picked out. I would say go with the rims first. It kind of looks funny if you have a nice body kit with factory rims. But putting rims on a car w/o a body kit makes it look awesome regardless. Something to keep in mind.

I agree with Wheels and Springs. That's the best things you can do for the price. Ground effects kits are nice, especially the ones you have picked out. But they are very costly, and when you sell your car, the kit is pretty much worthless. Whereas the rims and springs you can take out if you wish and sell separately.

Just my 2 cents.

I'd say there's no point in getting either right before winter, so save up and get both next summer:bigpimp:

If your hell bent on getting something now, go with rims. If not, save and maybe you van get both in the spring :dunno:

damn...where did you get that stuff. it's kinda on the steep end if you paid 1G for it.

However, i got the same setup for my car and i love it. The ride isn't too punishing, and it handles great when you do push the car.

Well, i got my springs from a friend in Montreal who used them for no more than a week (Roads there are shit) and I paid 150 for that so it was a steal. The strut/shocks i paid 320 (retail) all around. I got them at Greggs distributors down south. So total was 470CAD hahaha...what a deal.
