Lowering with Stock Wheels

what are the pros and cons of lowering with the stock LX wheels i already have?? i want to take it one mod at a time plus i don't have the money to buy the rims i like (im saving up) so is it alright if im just gonna lower my car with eibach sportlines?

Sportlines are very popular..........just watch out for the struts though.......they should last for a while i think.

Some people might think of it as ghetto fabulous but it'd probably be fine.

You don't need big rims to get a great look when you lower.

I think it is smarter to lower it first then get rims. That is most likely what I will do. Cause a set of wheels will look a lot nicer on a lowered car in my opinion. But who cares what I think.
