Default Car Audio or Suspension/Handleing/looks

I'm a audio freak and have had a decent sound system in all my past vehicles. I'm also a handleing freak that loves to take corners fast.

When i say audio i'm talking about having a nice clean sound system with a navigation system to get me around without getting loss(i suck with directions)

and the other choice is to get rims and getting lowered so that handling/looks will be dramatically improved.

Which would you do first considering you can't do both at the same time, they will have to be about 6 months apart?

such a hard decision, nothing relieves stress better than clean sound driving on the freeway when your stress out.

Performance and looks is what I prefer before I.C.E.

Then again it all depends on what you consider more important.

For example the rsx people that i know get body kits and wings before they get rims/drop. I personally would rather get rims and a drop, then get a kit. It just looks more pleasing to the eyes than to see a car with kit, but stock rims.

I think if we didn't drive a Lexus, this might be different. As the stock Lexus soundsystem, let alone ML is so outstanding, many don't feel a need to upgrade. Whereas the suspension is one of the Lexus trademarks (ride).

suspension/looks gets my vote.

I would go for the exterior/handling mods (which is what I did do). I think handling is a weak point of the Lexus cars.

That said, from your responses, it sounds like you'd rather do ICE and are looking for confirmation. Do what will give you more satisfaction. None of us drives your car.

Default personally

i think its personal imo, if you drive fast and alot, suspension is the way to go, ice is fun with friends, and its nice to listen to. i did my suspension first then car stereo. good luck with your choice
