which first: drop or wheels?

i just want the car to look nice, not too worried about performance. i do want to have a LITTLE bit of fun with it so i'm thinking about trd springs, suspension and a sway bar as they'll keep the car in warranty and said mods seem to have positive reviews on here.

first car and first time moding so bear with me. what are the pros/cons?

Drop it first, so your car doesn't look like a 4x4 with new wheel.

Lower first, then wheels. Lowering springs and sway bar is a good place to start.
Pros = better cornering abilities, looks nice
Cons = Can't "fly" over speed bumps like you used to, car will get stolen leaving you with a bus pass you'll have to purchase which you eventually realize you're saving gas money, insurance, maintenance, etc. Beware of stinky bums that sit next to you.
