if u think the 20's are too big, then put your stocks on to see the difference. lots of ppl are running 20's and enjoy it. it all depends on the look you're after.

i'm on 19's on CS and still want to go lower. but thats me.

Perhaps you should have opted for the Tanabe NF210's as opposed to the DF210's that you have now.

The NF's only lower the car 1 1/2~1.5 inches (30~40mm) while the DF's lower the car 2~2 1/2in (50~60mm). Just a thought.

im not saying that i dont want the rims i love the look i want to keep it on 20s but its just making this weird noise when i hit a bump it almost sounds like if the shocks where to be loose but their not i think i might have to get a camber kit if im correct? if it comes up to that id rather bag it
the front rubs the wheel wall when i make a turn fast and if i go up a drive way in an angle it will hit by the fender so idk....need some more advice!
