Default Paid by college

Hello guys,
I recently got a paycheck from college and now I want to buy myself a Christmas Gift. Should I purchase the full gfx kit or a bcr coilover (Just 1, going to save up money for my family gifts =)). Note that I have the lc818 rims coming in and I currently have f-sport springs. What should I purchase?

coils! a dropped car with no kit looks sick already, or get just the front lip and coils first and the rest later

I'd say coils if you know you want to be lower than the spring drop.

I got into an '09 is250 thanks to scholarship reimbursements my last semester of college in the spring of '09, since i knew i had a good job lined up to continue paying once that money ran out.
