thanks everyone for the input, the drop is being considered but the sizing up is a lil far fetched

Technically yes but it won't look right because you have over sized rims and 22's if you can make it fit will make it worse.

As far as what brands are good I have tein springs with kyb struts. But if your really serious about it go with the tein coilovers they are far superior.

For parts alone coilovers are about 1k for springs, shocks, and mounts about 670 for everything and your looking at about another 500 to put them in for either.

Think of it this way. You still posses that little bit of comfort that so many of us have chosen to forfeit with a drop.

Seems like any time a bloke checks in here with pics, we dogpile with "slam it!"
In this case, for the original poster, with the oversized rims, a drop might be warranted, unless you're going with the DUBS and raised look.

Gotta ask yourself what look you're trying to end up with. What's anyone trying to accomplish by going 20, 22, and up? Unless it's the DUBS look, you might want to consider the ride-comfort loss and considerable rotating mass you're inflicting on the drivetrain.

Just some non-critical food for thought...It sure is clean and pretty! You have an enviable clean fresh palette to work with there.
