^Don't have the hours needed to explain my thinking and logic; but I'm saying that style of wheel is not current.

On a dedicate track car or dedicated set of track wheels, or course lighter and strength is better; however, most try to find that balance between both...which is great for a DD. I believe the IS-F wheels (in this case) offer this.

yeah i feel you on that but still thats a multipiece wheel vs a stock wheel. just like work equips are early 90's wheels but still go as low as 1500 and as high as 2800 in dope spec/rebuilt form. thats why i said new vs new, thats not even at all. but used/decent condition vs used sure i would trade plus cash. but used/beat up vs used i would trade straight across

Yep. He wanted to trade straight up but I ended up not pulling the trigger (mostly due to our
both busy schedules). Makes sense to focus on other mods, like the ISC N1 coils that
I have already received and will be put on this Saturday

^You'll enjoy the visual difference the lowering will offer; not to mean the lowered stance offers less body roll and generally speaking better HARD cornering, due to the increased negative camber.

I just had a full wheel alignment done 3 weeks ago just after I bought the car.

I was thinking of waiting like 6-12 months after putting on the coilovers to get the next
alignment. I figure I won't be super low so it shouldn't throw the alignment off too much
initially. What do you guys think?

if you do coils you will need a new alignmet anyway because you wouldve taken the suspension apart and threw everything off

I believe those volks are ~27 and ~28 (according to Ray's) and the ISF
are 23 and 27ish, so not much difference given the ISF wheels are totally forged.
