Too Many Options. You guys help me choose!

So there are 3 modifications I would like to do for summer time and I can't decide what to do (can't afford them all!) . Someone please give me some advice...these are my options (about a $2k budget, but prefer to go with the cheapest route):

1) Drop on coils kwv1 (currently not dropped)
2) Upgrade to BBK + rotors (currently on non-sport brake kit)
3) New Wheels decided on Stance sc5 (currently on non-sport 18s)

I want the most dramatic cosmetic change to the car, which I know most would say are to get new wheels. This is how my car currently sits. FYI the fogs are installed now and the headlights are blacked out (going for the murdered out look!).

Thanks! As always any and all opinions are welcomed!

Most dramatic cosmetic = wheels

Subtle change you'll feel every time you drive = BBK's and drop

Just drop it for now and add spacers. I'm also sitting on my 18's till I can afford some rims. It looks decent!

Drop it before u get wheels otherwise the right spec wheels would look goofy until you dropped it

Definitely go with the drop first, then get new wheels. New wheels will be a more "dramatic"/noticeable mod, but our cars look SOOOO much better after they're lowered. IMO bigger aftermarket wheels don't look right on the stock 4x4 height.

Unless you're going to be taking your car to the track or auto cross racing, leave the brakes and rotors for last. The stock non-sport brakes are just fine for daily driving.

It's amazing how much better even the stock 18" rims look once the car is lowered

You will end up lowering it. Now go get those coils.
