I would say drop it first, get used to driving the car when its lowered and take all the scraping on the stock bumper, THEN get the kit. other way around you may scrape it up real bad if you have never driven something lowered before.

Congrats man, follow the how-to on the spring install and you will be just fine, also like said above, get you some air tools if at all possible.. makes the whole thing sooo much easier

Most body kits drop the scrapable parts about 2" lower so if he drops 2 inches and kits then he is gonna appear to have a 4 inch drop aslong as you dont look at wheel gap. That means he is gonna be 4 inches closer to the ground. It doesnt matter what order you do it in, he is gonna scrape the **** out of it.

Trust me, I had a body kit and scraped everything, then dropped her 2/2.5 and took off the kit, partially because the kit looked like ass and partially because that was too low to have fiberglass.

If I had it, I had it on my myspace for a while but it was deleted by an ex... That sucks... I was almost three wheeling too.

if you want to lower and have a body kit talk to TwistedSS, i think thats his SN, hes running for car of the month with a lowered balt with an expensive paintjob with a body kit. And its his daily driver.

Through previous experiences with multiple brands, I'd say go H&R.
