well it sounds like the stance you have right so you have a good start.
clean body or lip kit would be a nice addition..

1. platform
2-3. stance / fitment

everything after that is just fillers and opinions.

I also have a 2GS with tein flex, but I'm running 19x9 and 19x10 with +37 offsets all around. Right now my wheels look sunken, so I'm getting spacers soon, and then decide what I would do from then on out.

I would say stance and flushed wheel fitment primarily, anything after that would be bonuses. Good luck and take your time on your build!

so i'm thinking of bagging my ride..but its my daily driver..any pros or cons bagging a daily driver? cause right now with the coilovers i sit low. but i go threw tires every 3-5 months. i figure with bags any long distance driving i could lift the car to save the tire life...am i wrong in thinking this? or is bags a waste for a daily driver?

It is nice to set goals as far as what you want to do to your ride but don't do it just to give your car a label.

i cant answer your question and really i dont think anyone else can but you, only state their opinions. but if i have to give my opinion, im a fan of coilovers.

also a note on your 3-4 months of tires, you might want to get a proper alignment, i sit pretty low and i dont go through tires that often. i think i went through like 15-20k for my last set of tires.
