Rep Power: 394 not sure but why not lower it? thats going to improve your handling the most. next after that i heard it was sway bars. then after that i heard it was a rear tie bar, then front/rear strut bar

Rep Power: 394 just wondering whats stopping you from lowering your car?
those tires are going to do a couple things... yes its going to give you better response, and traction allowing you to take turns faster BUT i swear they grab onto every little crack on the road. so ya handling will get both better and worse. as for front/rear strut bars, i guess it'll be better then stock its just how better...

Rep Power: 0 [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] well the reason why i really dont want to drop my car is b/c its my everyday car,and i just want it to look good. i mean if it was a real sports car and i had money..... i would do soo much to it. i wanted to put my rims on my car and maybe just 1 strut bar. for the very minimal response of handling. its not like i am going to race much you know... i dunno there are soo many things to do. i heard that having 215/45/17 are decent looking. but i do drop it i have to get 205/40/17. but thats for the advice [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 295 You can still do the 215/45R17 with a mild drop like the Eibach Pro-Kit. It'll still be a huge improvement over stock.
The 215/45 combo is probably the best size (look wise) for a stock height car. That's how my car was for like 4 months. (see attached pic)
