i know these 17's look small but just wanted a OE rim to keep it simple yet sporty, i got 245/45/17's on here but they feel like they are maybe like a 245/60/17 cause they feel very soft, i want to change them back to 235/45/17, it think it will be a stiffer ride, so ... i dunno, what to do here, for one I have to SLAM it like crazy, but i actualy use it to cary more than 1 person around, i cary like 4-5 people some times too when we go out with friends, so if i slam it it will be hard to drive,

I DUNNO WHAT TO DO

if i were to drop it, what type of springs or strut combo should i get
I also have to use my car to show houses, and if did drop it wouldn't be much. For that reason I've decided when I do the suspension it will be Tein CS. Then if I want I can only drop it and inch, and I can dial in the rake however I want, and change it lower no prob if I want to later.

so that's my suggestion

okay, so as far as the tires go i have the KHUMO ASX, which is a nice tire, but it feels soft, which is good but for cornering it doesnt feel that good, but its a good tire
so i should stay with what i have 245/45/17, i should change the 235/45/17


so as far as the the TEIN suspention goes, how much do they go for?
