Rep Power: 272 sweet thanks for posting my ride up estebomb. yeah its on no name coilovers with 205/40/16... dont go no name! i have regretted that decision in every possible way. the rear passenger section in the trunk where the strut mounts into has been damaged because of it, the ride is TOO HARSH. i assure u i have the shittiest riding 7th gen on this site. i suggest you go with konis and ground control coils and you can get it as low as mine.

Rep Power: 284 I just reread your first post and you said you wanted 16s to keep a good ride. Honestly, its not that good. I went from 17s to stock for a while till my 16s came in and there was a huge difference. I still get a rough ride out of the wheel/tires, and I am only running 38-40psi

Rep Power: 325 why would you run that much air psi? that wear youll inner tread out a lot faster! you should run a max 35 daily if not 30. in that range it's i deal for our cars unlesss you are runnin heavy i.c.e. i recommend a 33, for you. 35 with ppl. i have never went that high, unless you auto-x

the bigger the wheel, the rougher the ride.

I would rather a little rougher ride (since I'm use to it) than buy tires every 6 months.
It was lowered around 1.6 inches on Tein Basics with 205/45/16 tires. To be honest, I never enjoyed having 16x7" wheels on my car. I prefer the wheels to be flush and not sink in, which you can do with the proper offset. I'd post some pics now, but I have 17's and this is a 16" wheel thread!!
