ive never understood why people think cars with a little bigger than usual rims is a waste of the car.....

i can take off the rims... and remove the spring lifters... and sell u the car and you would never know it had 2's on it....

i still get great acceleration, gas mileage, better traction than before.... the only noticable difference is when u hit a bump in the road... but i avoid those

i agree. IMO small wheels look timid on cars. dont get me wrong 22's is the max for me for any car, 24s 26s etc look dumb and doesnt fit smaller cars, but look nice on trucks.

just my opinion, where your from you may have the hottest Monte around, you may think its a waste of money for me to put 17's or 18's on ours, just my style I like having enough side wall to handle good but still have good ride quality. I didnt intend to sound like an a$$

coilovers are almost 1400 bucks sshhh! i just hope i dont have to roll the fenders!
Go on clubgp and search for DIY coilovers- they're not that terrible to make, and much cheaper than the ones currently offered. Obviously they'll never be as cheap as springs.

lol at not wanting to roll the fenders- you're talking about wanting to a lower a car going +6 on the rim size from stock- obviously its gonna take some work. I'm sure if you really wanted to, you could get it to tuck at least a little of the tire with enough modification and proper wheel size/spacing.

I give SSC springs a A++++++, very nice ride smooth and not harsh and bumpy. They tuck my 22s just right. No regrets!
