I've now picked my wheels and now need to figure out how much I need to drop the car for the wheels to look good.

What kind of rims are you going to get?

For springs, it's all in what you want. I see you live in an area that has pretty harsh winters, super-low probally isn't the most wise choice. And although I always recommend upgrading the shocks with withever springs you get, it's really important to get if your running on "race" type springs. I have sports which I like alot because it's not too low and I can still drive the car somewhat normally. The ride is great and I think it looks good too.

I have another set of wheels that I will be using for the winter with Blizzaks (see sig). We do get snow, but in the even that we do, I dont have to drive.
