Suspension or Wheels first

2013 Coupe X

I want to change out my suspension using new springs eibach/swift. However, I also want to upgrade from the stock 18's to 19's. After looking at the costs $$$ I may not have enough to do everything at once.

Any opinions on which I should do first?

If you're running the crappy OEM All Seasons, especially Goodyear RS-As I'd change them out ASAP. If you can run Summers most of the time and keep your 18s for winter I'd run good summer tires on the 19s. This would be my priority. Also changing your dinky rear sway to a RWD sway will be a nice upgrade too, and not cost much $$.

I am running Dunlop SP Sport Maxx's All seasons. Btw the wheel gap on the X coupe is absolutely hideous I have no idea what they were thinking when designing this. Either way I am going to post some pics of my new tires or my new suspension.

Anyone have a pic of eibach's with 18' wheels. I see lots of 19's with eibach drop but haven't seen an 18' pic.

I would say suspension first to get rid of some of that wheel gap

A lot of my customers love going with the Swift Springs. Good amount of drop (about an inch all around) and good performance. Also, by going with suspension first, you know what kind of fitment you'll be able to fit after the drop.
