wow llama my garage is like that but that first bump is a lil bigger so i tend to scrape the front lip, so i was pretty worried that if my car was lowered it's over for the front. i know i've seen a lot of non dropped cars w/ rims and i really admit that it doesn't look good. i still got to check the thread of aftermarket rims w/ no drop then i'll most likely change my mind and drop my car. i guess i just baby my car too much and don't want any single scratches, but to make it look nice and cherry lookin, you gotta sacrifice some stuff and that's to scratch. thanx guys for giving me friendly and very helpful comments. cl ftw.

One more, so which drop spring should i get. something friendly and stock feeling but gives it a decent drop something that would make an aftermarket rim look cherry?

Here is a picture of my car with wheels not dropped. I would fix the problem where I live and fix the road there and make it all nice and drop it a little not much...

I'm thinking of dropping it, but now I'm just waiting for the exhaust to arrive.

Ahhh its seems you like them. They are ASA wheels. Thy use to work on wheels with BBS. They are really good quality and cheap. Follow the link to find out more

I can send you more photos of the car on the pm of you like..
The only thing I don't like about these wheels is that they are heavy.. Wight of 26lbs fornt and 27 lbs rear. If you don't want your car to become heavy I don't advice you to buy them.

I am also looking at 19's. My 07 is equipped with OEM sport suspension, and I hear different guesses as to how much lower than standard suspension the sport suspension is. The ride/handling is very good, so I'm not in a hurry to mess with it.

I think if you did 18" wheels in the front and 19" wheels in the back it would look fine at stock height.
