I'll let you know in a few weeks. I'm going with Eibachs. The car rides really well, but I hate the body lean. The stock springs suck.

I have H&R sport springs and I got 20" wheels... as you can see my wheels are JUST tucked in the wheel well I wish it when a little lower but im happy with it.. ride wise.. ummm I could be better but I get more sportier feel for less ride quality so it evens out..I would so it if I were you your gonna wanna make up the 1" on your wheels to make them look a little bigger

thanks Ruf930 and Hamann5 4 ur reply...
i'm waiting for ur comment about ur eibachs Ruf930...
at 1st i'm planning to get 20" wheel but i'm not sure my 525 can carry out the wheels...is it true the larger your wheels means ur car getting uncomfortable??
so,after u guys changed to sport spring,how's the ride??many people told me that i have to sacrifice comfortable..is it true???how bad is the uncomfortable thing??

thanks again..
cant wait to see hamann5 car with aero...ur car really looks nice with 20".......

heyy...

fust FYI.. i put on 20'' last night and i own a 525

... fits well and i cant tell too much of a difference-- just bein more cautious of potholes and whatsuch ofcourse!!

However, im even considering lowering my car because of excess space- i thought the 20s would have filled more. So if you go with the 19's i think you def should lower it... dont forget to post pic whenever its all done!! =)

<<soon to post pic--waiting for a wash first!!>>
