Wheels look nice, car needs a drop. Put some lowering springs in. I just did mine and I love them!

Thanks guys! I personally think they are the sharpest looking "stock" wheel available. I think it makes it look so much more sporty without making it look cheap. I'm thinking of the drop, just not sure about it. These are 21s so there is not a big gap, but I know lowering would make it look ridiculously sweet

never lowered a car before, so dont know much about it. How does it work on a car that has a leveling system like this car? Dont want more problems than its worth for a slightly better look.

ahh you got self leveling. That's more complicated. My car has 4 springs all around so it was easier to change the springs.
I installed H&R sports all around and I couldn't be happier. Lowered 1.5" and got rid of the wheel gap. http://www.7post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=946848 As for you, I'm not sure I would touch the self leveling. The front should have springs which can easily be switched out, but to lower the back I think you would need to have the dealer do it with their computer and I'm not sure what that will do to your warranty and quality of ride. |

Lowering the car with self leveling is so much easier than conventional kit. Installation is cheaper as they only have to dissasemble the front. If you are 2012 and down, you use lowering links for the rear. 2013 & up u have dealer reprogram suspension limits and its done. And ride is perfect.

Thanks guys! I may look into lowering after all If it's not too complicated and doesn't void warranty. I think the wheels give it such a sporty and classy look.
