you should find some pics and ask ppl to vote....
if you want to lower ur car, make sure you research carefully....
my friend lowered his GS3 and forgot to install something which messed up the alignment....
so his tires were rubbing from the inside corner which reduce 50% the tire life.
hope this helps.

G wheel's. I still need to take new pics since my BBK is installed

Yeah, definatley lower your car if you get rims. Otherwise it will look like a 4x4
My car is so freaking low right now. The front bumper is about as high as my fist off the ground! Good thing roads here are relatively smooth and pothole free
Oh yea, did I mention that the guy that does my alignment(monthly) hates me

Jeff,

Are those stock rims you are using?

What tyre size are you using anyway?
