Well, if you can AFFORD both, why not? I wouldnt miss the group buy anyway no matter what as long as you can do it,. these deals dont come often.

OneLastTry,

Well, other than $1200 for the JIC, there's another $2000 for Moda R6 and Tires. And as you know, I'm also getting a new headunit cuz my CD changer died. It's all adding up really fast,,, and all of this is just after I spent $1000 on the 60k mile maintenance.
**sigh**

Legend, I think you will really like this mod because it is very functional, and a highly regarded product. You could only go better by doing FLT-a2's, and seriously, that is only if you are in it more for auto-x or some other kind of track use. IMHO, SF-1's will do just fine.

You will enjoy the car's adjustablity, and to answer your question, yes, once you get your new shoes, you can "roll your socks up or down " to accomodate their width and height .

Ahh, the beauty of coilovers. I know how you feel...I wanted to get my wheels first, but this is a great offer, so they will be next on the list. I am going with 19 x 8.5 f and 19 x 10 r.

This is bassakwards... Look, even poor offset wheels look like **** on a car that is stock height. Get the suspension, then get the wheels, otherwise it'll look stupid.

I am going through this right now, I went with L-Tuned Shocks/Springs for a 1' drop in suspension. I currently have on aftermarket Lexus 16's and will go up to 18's in a couple months.

I would say go for suspension first escpecially because the Tein are adjustable.

Don't sweat it. When someone votes in the poll on the thread, the whole thread gets bumped.

This thread may be old but I would still say get wheels first. The SC looks terrible with skinny little wheels and tires. Why they created this car with little wheels is beyond comprehension. Everything else about the car seems ahead of it's time. Except the puny wheels. ANyone else out there contemplating this? Get wheels first.

IMHO, I'd rather have smaller looking wheels than huge wheel gap that makes 18's look too gaudy and bling.

I'd say go for the adjustable suspension first, then get the wheels.

Wow, we've got a real live debate here. Maybe someone should start a thread for it. WHich looks better, lowered stock or plus sized wheels on stock height? My sig is a pic or my car with stock height. Anyone gonna tell it would look better with stock wheels? I'm sorry, I can't see that.

Driving a lowered car is a pain in the neck anyway. Especially with a body kit. Scraping the ground going over dips. Slowing down over uneven surfaces. Being careful about parking space cement blocks. Curbs that are tall. On and on. Sometimes I think it's not worth the trouble.

Until I wash it again and sit back to take it all in.

lowered stock looks better... suspension before rims

JZZ30TT

I'll say it would look better with stocks... Becuase i think it would. There's more than a large diameter to making wheels look good. Alot of things come into play and one of those things is stance.

i say suspension first because it might look funny with larger rims on with no drop looks half ***.
