ORIGINAL: CheckMyVitals

with 18s your car will be sitting higher... which is never the way to go with a car
it's never a bad idea to lower your car at least 1.5" once you get 18s to prevent the truck look.
Uhmmmmm..... NO.

The 18's will NOT raise the car's height.
18" wheels will require a narrower sidewall to maintain the same OD so the speedo will be correct and other dynamics remain the same. This is why plus-one sizing reduces ride quality, etc.

Lowering the car 1.5 inches is a huge change in suspension dynamics. I'd consider further what you really want to accomplish - aesthetics or performance.

ImolaS4: so what you are saying is if i put on 18's i will not need to lower my baby unless i want to? Well then if thats the case i will wait and see how they fit. My car is red by the way.... thats why i went for the hyperblack look. I was thinking abt black but it looks too much like its been painted on.

you should just get the neuspeed springs, and then get struts, and sway bars as you go along.
