Thanks for all your inputs! I'm def dropping first then!

Should I: drop more without the kit? or
Should I: drop little and then get the kit? It'll look nicer but would I have to worry about being too low?

Also, these wheels are $0.01... http://www.lextuners.com/schwertsc1.html

So drop first, then wheels, then body kit? Is this the best sequence to do this in? o_o

So If I were to do Lower, aftermarket wheels, and body kits, what would be the right/appropriate way to do it ?

Not sure what you are asking ... but yes - that defiantly works, and is what a lot of people do.

But in the end - It's your car dude! Mod in whatever order you like!


Basically - the general consensus is drop first - then rim/kit. Ive seen tons of cars with drop/kit - and stock rims, and also lots of cars with drop/wheels - and no kit.

Its all up to you!

Hehe thanks!

But if I want to avoid scraping, I shouldn't lower too much if I want to get kits too right ?

The GFX kit doesn't hang down low as other kits too.

The front doesn't hang down much lower than the factory 2 piece lip that you remove to put on the GFX front. The sides don't really matter when it comes to scraping, and the rear lip you wont scrape either.

Just be careful when parking of those little concrete parking blocks if your lowered and you'll be good.
