Talking Where do I go from here?

I'm running stock everything obviously, just wanted to know what you guys would do regarding wheel size and lowering height. I'm thinking Tanabe NF210s. Not sure about the wheels yet. 18 or 19 inch?

I would suggest 18's, tires are a bit cheaper than 19's. Ride quality is probably a bit better with the increase in sidewall. I had the NF210's on my car previously and didn't like the drop, if you would consider it a drop, not enough for my liking. I would look into a Supra strut and spring combo, more aggressive drop.

Do you plan on rolling or cutting your fenders? That would open up a lot of possibilities in offsets you can run.

Agreed but I'd say go with coilovers

If you're looking for a good drop, don't go with the NF210's. They barely dropped my car.

I thought nf210s had a 1.5 inch drop? So I can run my stock wheels until I get some better ones when I do drop it? How much drop would I get with the supra strut combo? Coilovers are adjustable, right?
