Default Lowering or Music??????

Ok guys I would like to get a your opinion on what I should do first.
I could either lower my car (Which is already on 20's but doesn't look to crazy high) or I could get system for a better price now then if I wait.

Not sure which I want more...... HELP

you gotta lower it. Car audio equipment is always easy to find. Get the look going on.

I say lower her first. I had 20's and upgraded the system a little bit in my 2GS before I did suspension, but at the end of the day, I hated the 4x4 look.

lower it. 20's without lowering make it look like a truck.

Well lowering will come out to be cheaper to begin with but I have a chance at getting a custom ported thru rear deck box for pretty cheap and some new subs at shop cost.

Ok guys just bought some Tanabe DF210's brand new for 189.00 shipped.

Hopefully someone might be able to walk me thru a spring install (if it's not hard enough)so I could save some money and start on some the subs and box at least so I don't lose that deal.

Lower for sure. As for me, again, as for me, this is the step I will take:

Lower
Wheels
Kit or lip
Lights (side markers, tail lights, HID if you don't have)
Spoilers (roof, rear, hood)
Grill
Interior
Sound

Forgot to add:

A hot chick in the passenger seat should come first. =)

GOOD LUCK!
