You need to lower it... so either a spring/shock combination (Ex: bilstein shock with neuspeed springs), or a coilover setup, which allows adjustment of ride height (Ex: Koni's).

If you've got sport suspension it'll look alright without lowering it. Go with 225/40R18 tires.

I disagree, I have 17's on sport suspension... and although some might live with it, I still think it looks to high.

And panda... 7 seconds... I live my life 10 seconds at a time.

Or is it a 1/4 mile at a time... I can't remember. :P

Oh yeah, it's 1/4 mile at a time, and "for those 10 seconds or less, I'm free"

*vomits*

haha, good call.

EDIT: I just wondered... you think any ricer kid actually said that before? Like, after seeing the movie... busted out that gem of a line, and was trying to play it seriously?

*shudders*
