OP, there is right way and a wrong way to lower a car, there is a right way and a wrong way to choose rims also~ you need to decide how low by conditions of the roads you travel on...
This is so true, my car is lowered and I've gotten this many times "Wow your car rides like it's not even lowered".

If you want to go lower and still mantain a nice ride quality you need to spend the cash. This is something I learned when I was young and stupid and lowered my Integra for the first time the wrong way.

I've given in to the fact I should lower the car to make it look nicer. I'll only go with a small drop of 1 inch so the f-sports will do. Still getting quotes on installation and alignments though.

Last night while searching for shops to install springs, I ran across the volk RE30's... I think I'm in love.

Are you buying new or used wheels? If used and local, see if you can do a test fit and see if you like it or not then decide from there?

I got my wheels used and was able to test fit and see how they looked before I bought them. Just a thought
