lowering makes you car look better...and handle better... so if you cant decide between looks or handling....teins would be an obvious choice...
but if you just got your car...i'd be allittle hesitent to remove about 1k of brand new factory equipment...so maybe bodykit would be better

i eventually want both looks and handling .. but i guess looks first .. i was just thinkin since the teins are available for 850 and the body kit for 825 it would be a toss up .. =T

I would go with a bodykit.....simply because unless you can find a professional shop that can put your car on 4 scales then finding the TRUE settings for adjustable coilovers can be a nightmare. Too many people say that by getting coilovers you are increasing performance...but without scales, that's like installing a VTEC controller without getting it dyno tuned!

Personal taste. I think a lowered car with no kit looks better than the SUV styling with the body kit.
And there is no doubt which handles better (although the air deflectors of the body kit do an admirable job trying
)
No brainer for me. suspension first and maybe only.

do not get ANYTHING installed at the dealer... they will charge u an arm and a leg, and the part will not void the warranty unless whatever messes up is because of the aftermarket part.

You can get the Teins for $850 (check or money order only) from blxmjx on acl.com and here ... If you do Paypal you have to tag on 3%.
I got mine in the mail on Wednesday from blxmjx! Can't wait to get that and the EDFC installed ... still waiting on my headers tho
