If I were to..
If I were to put 17" rims on my car, and not lower it a BIT...would you guys get on my case?
How would that work for me? It would look like shyat wouldn't it?
What about the size of the tires...
I'm a noob with the suspension stuff...

Rep Power: 0 Yeah? What about during the winter...I dont wanna push snow...would there be an easy way to adjust that?
I'm thinking coilovers, cause you can adjust them right? What's the deal with that...how easy is that to do?
Sorry if i'm being difficult, it's just that mods always blast me, and tell me to search, but I HAVE, and I STILL prefer getting info from other members! Thanks
EDIT: Dang spelling

keep on adjusting your springs and you're gonna pay through the *** with alignments. if you dont wanna keep doing alignments, then your tires are gonna go to ****

205/40-17 on H&R sport springs... only a 1.3 inch drop all around.
I like this one better though, same springs but on 205/50-15's
its a mid corner shot, so that explains the extra wheel gap....

Rep Power: 292 Don't give in to peer pressure. Don't lower the car unless YOU want to. I went even further and got 16s instead of 17s and didn't lower. Looks fine and handles great.
