2G Looking for advice on lowering car

[ohlegend]

I am looking into lowering the car to have a more aggressive stance. I am not into the slammed to the ground stuff. I just want to tastefully lower the car and have no issues running a 16-17" wheel. What are your recommendations? Would springs be the way to go?

Unless you plan on Auto-X or drag racing with tall slicks, I would go with springs. Make sure your struts are in good shape, if not KYB AGX are very economically priced these days.

What would be a good spring drop height for 16-17" rims?

I had Eibach Sportlines on my car with 17's for a while and it was a perfect combo. My profile picture is with the springs installed so you can get an idea of the stance.

Eibach pro kit is like 1.2" front and rear, H&R is 1.7" front 1.4" rear assuming you have FWD. The outside diameter of the tire is going to be the same, lower profile on the 17" rim vs. the 16" rim. I personally would use the Eibach due to the roads here in Columbus, OH.
