A nice set of drop springs will make whatever you decide on look WAAAYY bettter

Spring only is not good man... better get a coilover, would be more expensive but drive much better.

we all have our different opinions, i think springs are better personally thats just me. ive always heard with coilovers your car is always really bouncy. and as far as springs go, if you get springs they will be the same height as the stock springs, but will compress down more when on the car. the way the coils are made on lowering springs are different than factory coil springs, thats why aftermarket ones sit down lower.

im a fan of springs because they bare more pocket friendly at the moment. plus it helps me get an idea of what i can do wheel wise. I could care less about ride. im not in it for how it ride i just love how they look

Has anyone answered the op yet? I know there was a similar discussion about 19s on stock struts before, but I can't seem to find it. Here are some threads about 19 inch wheels:

19's will fill your wheel well pretty good
but if you are not lowered it will look kinda half azzed

Here are a couple pics I found on here with people rocking 19"s with stock height.
Not too bad actually..

You can change the stiffness and make it ride soft to get rid of the bounce.

It seems like those 19s raised the car more, maybe thats just me. Not a fan though.

Thats a to 19s and no drop.

hmmm....maybe i should go with 18s

Either way, to fill the gap, you are going to have to drop it.



Best option if you want to save money.............. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

18" will still have a 2-3 finger gap at stock height, I'd recommend dropping it.
This was me before lowering it

just curious, why don't you want to drop it? it'll handle and look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. i have 19's. BUT I'm also dropped quite a bit. look here. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-the-whip.html

well i had a civic before and had it slammed to the ground....it was annoying driving it around los angeles

Sebash
