    04+ should really go bigger than 18s, but they look good!

    Aren't 18's best for performance? I love the look, although a lowering kit might be necessary!

    ****, 15s are best for performance. any bigger wheel means more rotating mass.

    I meant that 18's were better than 20's and up. I do like the looks of some of these cars with 20's, just not mine

    With the gtp suspension the car already rides stiff, lower profile tires would make for even more of a rough ride. I'm kinda old school anyway, and am not yet sold on the low prof. stuff.

    Ok bio248, I see that you are going to lower your car. You seem to know about cars enough for me to ask what kind of lowering kit and how low should I go with my car?

    my car is already lowered. i run eibach springs with KYB GR2s. the ride is rough but i cant complain about the handling and stance that ive got from it. i need to replace my struts and mounts pretty soon.

    it really depends on how low you want to go and how harsh of a ride you want to deal with when youre driving it. you can go with vogtland springs and drop somewhere around an inch and still have a pretty good ride quality or you can pretty much slam the car with intrax springs and need a new spleen whenever youre done driving. there are a bunch of different springs that go in between there, but the choice is yours.

    I already have titanium rods holding together 9 of my vertebrae, so I don't think that I would like a new spleen also... so I quess the vogtland springs and 1" drop would be the best for me. lol Thanks for the advice. I am going to get the windows tinted first, then save for the lowering kit. About how much will I need for the vogtland set up?
