A-Spec Rims or Bodykit

Alright, I'm considering adding some components of the A-Spec kit to my car. I think I will be doing the suspension for sure. If I were to add more than the suspension it would likely be either the 18 rims and rubber, or the body kit. I'm not overly concerned with performance as I live in MN where I will be taking of the 18"s for winter if I were to get them... which would be a hassle.

So any thoughts on what you would do:

1) add the suspension only and leave the car alone
2) add the suspension and add the 18" rims and rubber
3) add the suspension and get the ground effects kit
4) Post your suggestions... (not an option in the poll)

Suspension and Body kit, or just the body kit and some $200 springs. The handling isnt that much better between the A-Spec coilovers and a set of springs.

Just got my a-spec suspension installed, I'm waiting to wear out the oem 17" michelins before upgrading to 18" a-spec wheels, who knows, maybe '06 will have better looking rims

The body kit definitely sets the car off. Personally, I think it looks 100 X's better with the kit. Don't like the wheels...for the $, get aftermarket (and swapping wheels is easy, just like rotating your tires). Can't speak to the suspension. I was considering it at one point...decided if I did suspension mods, I'd go aftermarket, probably Comptech.

What about the option of having the A-Spec body only?

Not sure if I'll get the body, the suspension, both, or neither. I already scratched my front right fender (part of the front bumper) and am considering getting it fixed....but it may make more sense for me to just replace it with the A-spec front spoiler instead. I haven't price it out yet.
