Too low for daily driving, but it looks good to me if you're just taking the car to shows.

I beg to differ. All three should be done at the same time cause you should need the body kit to be able to fit the car to the wheels you bought and then the suspension to lower the car to hide the tire

I disagree with you, you don't have to do everything all at once. For most tuners, we can't afford a bodykit, suspension, and wheels all at once. Even if we did save up and bought them and store them until we get everything, I know most tuners won't have the patience to just have those parts lying around for so long. You can definitely do this stuff little by little, and here's the order I would do it in:

1st - Lower your car (depending on your suspension and how low your car is, you can determine what size wheels, tires, and offset would be suitable for your suspension setup)
2nd - throw some nice wheels on there w/ the size and offset that you desire
3rd - work on your fitment and stance (i.e, roll your fenders, adjust camber, add spacers, ect.)
4th - add a bodykit to compliment the stance of the car.

I think it's 1. Lower 2. Wheels 3. Bodykit

All relative... since you might have to adjust after each step anyways i.e.

1. Lower (coilovers yay)
2. Buy new wheels
2A. Adjust height to accomodate for new wheels size/offset
3. Buy body kit
3A. Test ride height, adjust, etc.
