Default First Modification to car

I just bought a 1998 Acura Integra LS 2 Door, and I was debating what mod I should do first. I was thinking of lowering the car, and then upgrading the rims and tires in the future.

If I was to lower the car 1", what would be required for the lowering process, and how much would it cost?

I would like to lower the car with the current stock 15" rims and tires, and then upgrade to 16" in the near future. Any ideas on a good 16" wheel and tire package?

-Thanks

Rota Slipstreams with a polished lip look good on Silver and Black cars. About 8-900 for a wheel/tire package.

i doubt he wants to pay 300 dollars per wheel with no tires...thats a bit hefty for someone who knows little to nothing about modding an Integra.

Ideally, you'll need springs + shocks for the lowering process. What's your budget?

you can get some good springs for $100-150, a camber kit for $200, and an alignment for 50.

Assuming you want to lower anywhere from 1-3".

He only has $400 for the lowering. I say wait for when you can afford the new shocks at the same time. Get clear corners and a CAI.

Wait... That's me

I'm on H&R Sports mated to stock shocks. No problems yet! Well actually I'm saving up for shocks...
