ok thanks. cause i wanna get rims but i dont wanna drop it because the suspension on the car is amazing so i'd wanna keep it. Maybe if i get some lowprofile tires it wouldnt look so bad either?

That should make it look worse cause your back to more wheel gap again. Get coils and set it to a soft setting, it won't ruin the ride but it'll make it more firm. I haven't heard from anyone that went coils and gone back due to lack of comfort.

Yeah i agree, or get a small drop. It wont mess up the suspension that much. I actually like the feel better.
