before you upgrade wheels i would highly recommend lowering your car. even with those 16"s your car looks like its ready for off roading. with 18's it will be even worse.

My sig pic is my car on my former 18s. I had an S4 setup on there which was only about a fingerwidth lower than stock non-sport ride height. My lowers are painted, which helped the look, but you can still see the big wheel gap.

ECStuning.com I believe has sport susp parts. Or get lowering springs.

You say that moneys not a problem, so just lower that bitch. You wont regret it, it will look better and handle better. The sport suspension isnt really a whole lot cheaper than a set of v-maxx coilovers and you have to replace the same parts anyway. 18s on stock suspension have alot of wheel gap. If you can afford it, just lower it. Our cars look 100% better lowered. If you dont want a terrible ride, then get good parts. You get what you pay for. Guys here run H&R, tein, Eibach, V-maxx, Koni etc with no problems. Do any of them ride exactly like stock...probably not. But they ride isnt like scrapping your ass on the ground. It will be comfortable. I've driven across states with it being comfortable. You've posted a couple times and you keep getting the same answers...your car will look awesome with a more aggressive stance and it will handle much better. Now get da ordering! lol. Good luck!

i needed that...really i did. probabaly just going to go head first and invest in some decent coilovers. if anythings ill just adjust the dampening all the way to help with comfort. i noticed that suspension kits won't fix that uneven level that the back wheel gap has on the front wheel gap. thats why i guess coilovers look insane on b5's, cus it evens it out and fixes the wheel gaps. prolly get some h&r's...i heeard they got a 32 level dampening adjustments, which will hopefully satisfy my picky ass. i just was weary at first because people "in person" tell me coilovers are for people who race or go to the track..so the ride will definitely be bumpy...o wells.

I'm running dampening adjustable H&R's and I love it! :)

Seriously, my car isn't at all for "racing". I mean I could take the corners fine but I lower it to achieve a more aggressive stance. It really depends on what you're looking for really. Some people get suspension so they can track the car but some really are doing it just to get better stance.
