Things I've been pondering though.. I still have my stock wheels. Not sure how'd they look like with them, or if I'd get rubbing or any other issues with them.

I wanna get new wheels too, but having trouble deciding which one to do first :/

was adjusted perfectly height and dampening... i like kw's and st coils the most...
my main concern when i lowered my car was the camber and i had them adjust it all the way to -2 so it wont rub when i turn the wheel.. rather than that love how my car sits and how it rides

I have mine set probably stiffer than some would find comfortable, but I like it just fine. I have almost no body roll, the car turns better, and my overall driving experience is much better.
