why would you need to bump your own thread. every one here pretty much said wheel number 1. so go buy wheel number one. but personally i would go invest on a new nose, the current one looks pretty fugly IMO.

You should get the springs with the lowest drop possible. You may be lucky and your bumper will be knocked off when you go through a pothole.

I got a set of Racingbeat springs with koni's. On full stiff its too stiff on the highway. I have my koni's at F/R 75%/50% and its quite nice. With a full car of people the ride quality is actually better than stock. Response is up and theres just enough body roll to know you're turning.

Unfortunately I'm on bald tires and hopefully buying a set of tires tomorrow. After I get tires and an alignment I'll probably right a in depth review.

You cannot go wrong with the Tein Stech springs. Best looking drop outside of coilovers in my opinion. It drops the way too high front to just a hair lower than the rear and lowers the rear just enough to look really low, but not so low you cannot even drive it on the streets. Plus they are not that expensive. As far as rims goes, i like the ones you have on it now with your body kit and color. But if I had to choose, really you will like which ever ones you get, but I would probably go with the first ones.
