I say get the hood first because not many members on the forum has the hood, stand out from the rest, the the coilovers later you already lowered it like you said. Go with the HOOD or else you will regret. 
Then get the coilovers later after your shocks are worn out.

or is it +2 now
Either way I agree, hood first since you're already lowered. And then KW's later on.
Heck, Since we're spending your money in this exercise go with;
Vorsteiner Hood first
CSL CF trunk second
KW's last

I say get BOTH! LOL!
I've had the H&R with Bilstein shocks and I loved it, but once I changed to the KW's it was a night and day difference! I love cornering and the KW's covers all of that.
The hood is great as well because you get so many looks. I have the VIS GTR hood and it does turn heads

I was in the same dilemma you are in now not too long ago, I was planning to get the vorsteiner single-sided cf hood, but opted instead to get the KW V2's I haven't installed them yet but once I do I will post my feedback regarding comfort/performance, I am riding on h&r sport springs and I honestly hate the ride quality and the raked look, with the KW's I am planning to get a flatter even stance since my hamann splitter is too low to the ground I will raise the front and drop the rear all around 1.75". I ultimately made the decision to go performance over appearance. I hope this helps

Might get Bilstein coils or KW street comfort. Anyone know the difference or has Bilstein coils?
