need opinions

i need help. i cant decide on whether to have my car lowered with eibach sportlines and tokico shocks or to buy rims. the rims are probably gonna be 17" arospeed RSGT's. my parents are willing to pay for them but only one. so what u guys think which should i go with. i was thinking of getting the rims but i am worried my car might look crappy wit the rims and having no drop.

i would go for the springs, your ride would look a little odd with 17's all jacked up in the air.

Agreed!

I got my car dropped before I got my 18s.

thanks for tha input. i think i will go and get the rims. if they look all jacked up then i will take them off and wait until i drop it. rims are so expensive. i could probably earn the money to drop tha car a lot quicker then savin up for some rims.

I had 17s before the drop and it looked like crap. Get the drop, that is something that will make your daily ride so much more fun with handling and cornering. Just getting rims will not do very much and will look silly. Trust me, get the drop, plus it will also may your stock rims and car look sooo much better. 17s will be pretty useless with the stock suspension.
