Yeah, my gforce KDWs stick like glue to the pavement and the car is always playing catch up.

I haven't decided on wheels yet, but I'm pretty solid on getting the Megan EZ coilovers, so that helps what you guys are saying anyway.

Any vendors match ebay prices? I've always tried to support forum vendors before sourcing out.

No seriously, I could do both around christmas time, but doing the drop in warmer weather sounds nice anyway, then just taking my time finding the right wheels and just purchasing then.

I just wanted to see what people prefer to do first if they can't do both, even if that would be ideal.

It's because I got my wheels & springs installed at the same time. :P

<---envy of ^.....lol

I could do springs and wheels, but i've seen so many stories of switching right to coilovers after with uneven ride heights, too much/not enough drop. I'm only looking to do 1.2 in total, not finger gap or anything like that, so I don't know. The Fsport springs are an idea, but I don't want to do all that work twice and spend extra $$$.
