Gah, help me decide

My car has to be ready for NOPI. My final stuff that has to be done is a drop and wheels.

But I don't know what to do.

I have 2 choices:

1. Get Tein SS in 2 weeks, then buy some RS Limited Concept Pro's from a friend here and be ready for NOPI.

2. Get my RH Evolution CP8-R rims and desperately try to save for Tein SS before NOPI.

Get Tein SS, borrow ADR rims for Nopi (maybe give him a few bucks for the trouble), give them back, buy CP8Rs later.

I also concur.

Presentation makes a big statement at shows. Better to convey the image you intend for your car than to necessarily have the exact suspension setup that MAY score you more points, overall.

Get the Teins, get the RS rims, then later, sell the RS's for the RH's so you got something new to show at another show.

Well I would get springs and the RH's, but I know that my shocks will blow. I have to travel offroad to go to work and I know that as soon as I put on springs, it will be too much for my shocks. Even if I wait until the day before I leave for NOPI, I can almost guarantee that they will blow on the trip to Atlanta. I don't wanna be bouncing all of the way into Atlanta.

I've decided to get the Teins and the RS Limited wheels. Then I'll get my RH's.

Nice choice. I tried to drop my ride with springs, sure enough, a couple days later my shocks started leaking, then the ride only got bouncier and bouncier. Now I'm waiting to get my Koni's.
