if u get new rims, you will have to relocate the battery and change the front bumper.

far as i know, there are nothing you need to change on your car, all it is is slap the wheels on, the only problem you might have is if it's too big/small you might have to get your odorm readjusted, no biggie, they are flaming you because well.. everyone knows that...

If you get rims , depending on how low of a profile tire you get, the gap between the tire and the fender might look big and look like 4x4's. If you decide to lower it about 1" you don't really need to change shocks, get just new springs. Konig springs go for about $200 CAD. But any lower and u'll need shocks or coilovers. I'd go with 16" and lower it 1.5 ".. that's my ideal and not loose too much speed.

hey man, just joking around. if u get rims, all you have to do is put them on. no other mods needs. lowering your car though, well that a whole new story.
