I think a set of lowering springs will do the job. May make the ride even harsher tho. I think the ride is harsh enough already with the 17" rims, but then that's just me.

Same thing happened to a friend of mine who installed the M166 rims. He bougfht Breyton coils and lowered the car by some 15 - 20 cm. Looked good after that.

Hi Ed,

You have the 19" wheels too. Did you lower your car after you have the wheel changed? Or does your car come with the sports package?

Oh btw, a slight update on the PIAA bulbs. After driving with them for a couple of weeks now, it's save to say it doesn't hurt to use them as replacements for your OEM halogens. They are definitely brighter in dark places where there's less or no street lights. In well lit areas, the bulbs appear dimmer I think because of the whiter color they project. It blends in too well with the background lighting.
