Oh, I voted 19". IMO, 20" is too big.

Here is what I wrote."As for the ride, it depends totally on what you get. I have heard people rant and rave about how well the Tein Flex's with EDFC rides very well on previous IS's and GS's so once they start producing those for the 2IS I would look into it if you are interested. Or have they started producing these yet? I haven't checked."
Now, for my car, I don't even remember what a stock 1IS rides like to be honest. lol My car is pretty stiff riding but I like it like that. I like being able to throw it into a turn and it just dig into it. You can kind of do that with a stock one but I wouldn't feel quite as confident really.

What you do get from lowering is better looking ride, better handling, and more turned heads.
