I'd go for the wheels first then the engine upgrades.

Size...215/45/17 with a 30-40mm drop with a good shock/spring upgrade.

depends on personal choice...........if you have 16"s standard as mine I'd go for performance/suspension first then get the wheels..by that time the wheel prices drops a bit as well Heh he :hehehe:

$400-500 for springs/struts. $1000+ for coilovers. Get rims and droppage 1st. It will change the whole look of your car. You will like it more.

So if I had $1500 total to spend..
Wheels - $640
Tires - $??
Springs/Struts - $400-500

Would I go over 1500? Pretty sure I would by a little depending on the tires I got and also would have to pay for someone to install this stuff...

Ya, it depends on what type of wheels you're getting and what type of tires. Like I mentioned, I paid $1700 for my rims ($215 each) and tires (Nankang, which mind you, were the CHEAPEST TIRES) - and then there's the labor. With $1500 you can get yourself some good wheels, but I don't know if you'd have anything left over for struts/springs .

It would be pretty close. For wheels at a good price, check out www.wheelmax.com The springs you can pretty much find anywhere. Struts will be difficult. Don't make a full set-up for the P11.

I just asked someone, and they said that if I lowered my car, it would invalidate the warranty on my car. Is this true? What did you guys do?

Not supposed to. Not suspension. To my knowledge.

I just told my insurance company of all the mods i done and they was really cool about it....no extra cost.
The warranty was the same.

So if I take my car in to be serviced, they won't refuse to do it because of the fact that I lowered my car?

I dont see why they shouldn't....just be honest with them and tell them what you have done or going to do.
