drop

What is the BEST way and order for me to do the following.
Put ground efects on my car.
I want to drop my car a little.
Put 16"or 17"tires on in about a year or two.
Sub connectors, and sway bars.

Correct me if I am wrong but shouldn't this get more performance out of my car.
and look good to.

Also how much will each run me. $$?

Sub frame connectors $100-$150? Check nextgen, classic industries, or a dealership for ground fx 16" or 17" rims could cost from $400? to $4000 depending on your taste in wheels...17" tires could cost up to around $250 a tire if you want the best...you might have trouble dropping the car with 17" wheels depending on tire size but it is possible might be a lot of work though....handling will be improved...and as long as you don't make the car a low rider or pick out some really ugly wheels it will improve the looks

Forget the wheels for now.
You think I should first get sub conectors then sway bars. Then next worry about grd fx.
Do all conectors need to be welded?
how hard are they to install.

Definitely get the subframe connectors first. Every one I've talked to said they are the first thing you should get.. I'm still trying to scrape up enough money for mine.
Subframe connectors should be welded. You can get the bolt-on type but as time goes on, the bolt holes will stretch and limit their effectiveness. Welding eliminates that problem entirely.

Do you think the front air dam will effect my performance very noticable?
I just read the tech on them.
They look good but I don't want to sacrafice much performance.
