Default What to do first and clues?

Right I can only do one thing at a time. So I don't know what to do first??

Do I lower it or buy wheels first? Would it matter what I do?? Any advice welcome thanks.

Learn how to drive it fast. Autocross or road course. Then upgrade tires and wheels!

I have a track day booked. Just wasn't sure to lower or get wheels first.

Impossible to answer. When was the oil changed? How old are the tires? What is the overall condition of the car? Brakes?

Suggest spending some time on the track before you do the lowering--the car is pretty good as it comes from the factory so you need to figure out what you want from the lowering before you buy the parts--better handling or just better looks..

If want to track it regularly, read the racing and suspension forums to see what the best components are for what your goal is-----if you just want it to look lower, then it doesn't really matter as much.

Enjoy your new S2k!

If you are going for the CR wing, you might consider getting the CR wheels as well. You could probably get the CR wheels + coilovers for less money than a new aftermarket set of Volks. I've seen CR wheels in nice shape for relatively cheap once, but they didn't last.

Which order shouldn't be an issue, but if you have the stock 17" wheels I'd probably do the coilovers first.

Don't last?? And with the cr wheel or v3s would I have any rubbing?? And what size tires could I get?
