Riding nice and 20s should not be used in the same sentence. If you want it to look nice you'll need to add some lowering springs to get rid of the fenderwell gap.

Welcome aboard!

Default thanks

thanks for the 411, so lowering the car is just for looks? will the car handle well until i can afford the lower?

Default Lowering...

I recently lowered mine and I have seen an improvement in handling (added wider tires/rims too). Keep in mind that when you lower it you are going to probably need camber adjustment bolts and an adjustable panhard bar also. Have fun.

I lowered my car some time ago handles fine but i was wanting to put 18/19's on mine. If I go with the same tire height but in the 18 or 19 will i have to recal my comp???
