Wheels or suspension first?

I'm not sure which one I should do first. My car does have sport suspension and I do plan on trying to do both relatively close to each other.

IMO I would do suspension first. That way, you're not riding high on some nice wheels. And you wouldn't have to deal with aligning and balancing the suspension once the wheels are on. But that's just my own opinion. Post images once you get either one done though!

Do the wheels when you need new tires. Do the suspension closer to when it is wearing out.

What he said, . . but; what is it exactly are you attempting to achieve with these mods?

If you already have sport suspension, just throw a set of h&r springs on for now and call it good. It is cheap compared to coils, which you can get later on down the road. the slight drop will compliment a new set of wheels
