Suspension or Wheels?
Which one would you do first? I want to see what option wins I personally think suspension first then wheels. My hubby says wheels first. What do you guys think? Let the debate begin!

Suspension: Substance + some form (lower)
Wheels: Form.
As accountants keep saying, substance over form! I would spend money on something that helps handling where I can feel first before cosmetic mod. Ah, lowering also helps the car look much better too. With a wheels on stock height, it still looks bad lol.

From my own personal experience, I went with BCR coilovers; dropped 3+" on stock wheels. Then added the rear F-sport sway bar. Then finally got me some wheels (Genesis Track 19s). Totally glad I went this route cuz I couldn't deal with the 4x4 wheel gap, like others mentioned.

This is NOT a debate it's a suggestion for you two. Is this a daily or weekend type ryde? I've been into lowered cars since the late 80's, when mini trucks were the "IN" thang. If we had no money to do a big upgrade we dumped(lowered) the car first. So a budget is what I'd look at. If I can afford 2-3k wheels OR suspension I'd go w/wheels. That's me. I don't race my ***** and I personally don't like the look of a lowered car on stocks. BUT Lex has some decent stock wheels. Lowering can be cheaper than wheels so if you guys are strapped on cash then go w/what they ^ said. Check out pics of lowered X50's on stocks and see if that's what you guys like.

I guess it also depends on what you want to change the suspension for. If you are just looking to lower it so it looks differently, I'd probably save up and do wheels and suspension at the same time. Aftermarket wheels at stock height (depending on fitment and what you want) can look goofy, but so can a very lowered car on stock wheels.
I changed my suspension solely for performance reasons, but did not want to lower the car, so my stock wheels still looked normal.
