I am thinking of lowering my car when I get some rims, but I am concerned about ride harshness and wheel rub ( I want 18" rims). So how much do I lower it so it will handle a bit better, look better but not give me the problems I have just mentioned?

Personally I've heard the sachs kit is a good balance of aesthetics, performance, and drivability. This is what I plan on getting eventually...

My top five (keeping cheap in mind):
1. Clear lights (turn signals, tails)
2. Euro trim
3. Blacked out kidneys
4. Shadowline
5. EAT chip

After I get the chip, I'm going with suspension, wheels, and then the interior begins...

heres what they look like on.

Yellow Lamin-X on the fogs... and WOW!!!!! that makes my Xenon/Fog combo brighter than my Highbeam/Xenon combo...

So you have the smoked ones? wonder how dark the charcoal are? and for both the highbeam/low beam did you order the $44 set? Can you please post some close up pics of the headlights.

thanks.

I kinda think Lamin-X ripped me off, I ordered the $44 set and apparantly that includes headlights and fogs... then I ordered the $17 set for yellow fogs... they called me and said I didnt need to order both and would not charge me for the second fog kit... then charged me anyway.

I think if you call them that you can order the $44 and get smoked/yellow fogs without going through what I did.
