Lower it first then see how it looks as the stock height takes alot away from the look of wheels.

What springs are best? Eibach or H&R? Not looking for a MAJOR drop!Just something that sits nice and will allow me to dirve over speed bumps and park where there are curb blocks, so my chin spoiler wont get cracked! lol

I say H&R.Here is mine with the same wheels after I lowered it.It was only after a week and they had not settled all the way yet.Also get some 35mm wheel spacers and your rears will be flush with the fender well and look like you have 17x10 rims,I installed both at the same time and it really made a difference.

I can finally say steeda sports. I love mine. Rides very close to stock, and handles very well. It hasnt settle all the way yet, but about an inch up front so far. They are great.

I cant recommend eibachs as I have them and I am not happy with them. I hit speed bumps constantly you should only drop it 1 1/4 max get poly isolators,new shocks. I am switching to only a 3/4 in drop due to long tube headers and a bunch of weight in my trunk due to stereo system which should lower it a bit more. I am going with the Bullitt suspension. As you can see lances looks 10x better than yours due to the drop and spacer.
