Don't know what to do first...
Hey guys, so I haven't done anything to my car since I installed the road magnet springs but I've been saving up and don't know whether to get a lip kit or keep saving for coils.. The road magnets dropped my car 2in but that's still not enough for me so I'm really wanting to get my coils already. I'm looking for a vertex lip (09-10) now because I don't like the ings for the 09-10 at all.. Makes me wish I had an 06-08 lol. But yeah I'm pretty stuck on whether to get my lip, if I can, or keep saving for coils! I plan on getting the varrstoen es6 wheels sometime in the near future and before I get hate on fake wheels, I know I know, but I'm a highschool student with a minimum wage job so I'm doing what I can with the money I have.. Here's some pics of my car with how it is today, ps I hate these "lobster claw" wheels so much.

They're fake in the sense that they imitate the real thing, but aren't. To me, it's the same thing as people buying knockoff China-made LV handbags and the such. They typically don't pass certifications, like TUV, for strength and structural rigidity . A better explanation: http://www.hrewheels.com/news/hre-explains-what-is-tuv
You don't need to spent 8 grand to get quality wheels. Buying used legit wheels is a good option, if you can find them in a fitment to your liking. Spend your money wisely, not cheaply.

when people say "fake" they mean they are reps of another legit wheel
nobody is hating on rep wheels man calm down lol. legit wheels can be had for so cheap but most dont know where to look or shop around. i see nothing wrong with a rep wheel as a starter wheel, then something legit you like later. but its when folks get rep wheels then parade them as legit is what is weak
Legit wheel brands would be like:
Work, SSR, BBS, Enkei, Volk, Rays, etc
Rep wheel brands would be like:
Varrstoen, XXR, etc

I agree but no matter what i plan on getting both a lip and coils. Just don't know if I should go for the lip guess I have the money for it already or keep saving for coils and get the lip in the future. Because I'm not sure if the lip will look weird guess I'm only lowered 2in up front
