what springs are better?> I would love to know. B+G's are the only other brand I would consider and I dont think they have more of a drop than sportlines.

Bump , And Are Those 18s Or 17s?

they are 17's and i honestly dont know which ones are better

i went with eibachs for a couple reasons and i really like them...

b+g's give less of a drop than eibach sportlines...i just did a quick search, and their coilovers give more of a drop, not sure if you're looking to go that route...

I CANT DECIDE 17s or 18s because I really hate wheel gap but 17s are cheaper.

Yeah generally, tires will be more and same with rims but it looks better imo. Up to you. I would do 18's but I don't mind saving for another week or two to get 18"s.

I'm on Sportlines, but I have 19"s. BUT, I had my Sportlines on when I had my stock 17"s, my 18" Enkei's and my 19" Axis Mods......so i've been there done that for just about all wheel/Sportline scenarios, lol. And my 19" tires only run me $110 a piece........which really isn't that expensive.
