looks like we have a winner....A set of JICs with sway bars and 15mm spacers are headed my way. Thanks for the help guys, it really confirmed my original thoughts.

sorry didnt read the whole thread but JIC coilovers are the way to go!! NO question that is if you want to improve the performance of the car which seems like you are doing.
you go to a bling 19 inch wheel well it will look cooler but not perform as well.

either way cool to get some stuff for the car!! good wifey!!


funny I posted and then went to read the post above me, glad I said the right thing!!

Counterpoint.
Get some nice, light forged wheels from Champion or HRE. They will look good and improve handling with less unsprung weight. Also....you can always get some springs or coil overs later and she may never notice it...oops did I say that out loud

My car came with the 19" 997tt wheels. I like the wheels a lot but it does sit a little high. I'm going to get some JICs in the future.
