so any one that have 18 and lowered it cause i dont like how high it is know. or maybe would a bodykit make it look better and not so tall

and is there a speed diff from going to a larger size

18's, two different sets of wheels as well as stock wheels, two different tire sizes, Tein S-Tech springs, ZERO problem EVER with scraping or rubbing.

Here's the configurations:

Lowered with HPR5 Wheels, 18x8, +38, 215/35-18 tires. Tires were WAY too narrow for the wheel. Hence the huge bend in a wheel after a pothole encounter. Speedo was spot on though as it was the same diameter as the stock wheels.


Put stock wheels back on. This had a marked effect on the front camber due to the narrowness of the stock wheels. DESTROYED the stock tires.


Got Tenzo DC5 wheels, 18x8, +35, 225/40-18 tires. PERFECT tire, but speedo is approx. 3% too slow. 60 = about 63-64, GPS verified. Also added SSIII knock off splitters too, so it makes it look that much more lowered.

thanks thats what i figured cause it seemed that i was going faster than everyone else when usually they are passing me. lol
so since teins are out of my price range at the moment what are some other decently good brands, like eibach, and other one and would i need to change my shocks and struts cause i want a stiffer ride not to stiff just a little more stiff
