SUSPENSION.
suspension should always be the first thing you do to your car. everything else follows. Nothing looks right on stock suspension.

Well if you rims you will probably need new tires...so I would see if your stock tires need changing, gives you a legitimate excuse to swap tires and rims if they do...and if they don't, then maybe just lower it and wait lol

It depends 100% on what you want out of your car. Sure coilovers make the car look awesome but not everyone understands how coilovers work etc... The Stock suspension is actually pretty dam good and a good set of staggered 19's will look and perform just fine. So again it really depends where your headed with the car!

Agreed!

Don't lower the car too much would hate to see the coils leak before you're able to buy wheels.

If the shocks blow they'll start leaking oil.
