The $150 is just the beginning. The H&Rs are the deepest drop lowering springs so you'll be almost slammed. With that comes the need for camber arms and rear toe kit, this is another $500. If you can DIY the install you'll save at least $300, otherwise set aside almost $1k for the parts, labor & alignment. Since you'll be so low your driving habits will change from being a comfortable daily driver to always having to watch for the next pothole, steep driveway, any speed bump, etc. Coming from a Jeep where you can clear almost any obstacle to one where almost any road issue creates anxiety is something you need to consider. That said, a deep drop on your G will look good, especially if you plan on bigger aftermarket wheels/tires.

The short answer is yes
But everything else that blnewt said should also be factored in.

Drop first then get wheels that way you can decide on the right offset for the wheels you'll be running.
