If your planning on a major rebuild, I would figure out exactly what you want to use the car for and what you want it to do, and be realistic about it. Then plan parts around that. No point in spending thousands on suspension if you just cruise it and never track it.. If it were mine, the paint and overall car look pretty nice, I would probably just ditch those wheels and get it lower (I like stuff slammed, but you may just want an inch or 3) with some quality suspension parts, and spend some time planning out some new wheels and tires. On my car I was going to do exactly that, but then I thought if Im buying wheels, I might as well mini tub it and get the wheels in the sizes I really want. Its been off the road over 2 yrs. now, and that is called the "snowball effect", it will happen to you lol. Good luck....
