Re: lowering Opinions

Anything more than 2" is extreme. Your ride will be rough and depending on where you live you might be plowing snow.

Re: lowering Opinions

Though Snow plowing probably won't bother you too much in Cali the ide is gonna be pretty brutal with that low of a drop. I think the 16's would help in that the tires still have a a somewhat tall profile but for straight looks I like the 17's

Re: lowering Opinions

I would go for the 2" & 16's even though that wasn't one of your options. 17's ride like shit even with stock suspension due to the rubber band sidewall, 2.5" is no good for daily driving unless you like the trampoline effect. AGX's are not deisgned to work properly with more than a +/-1.5" drop, so I would look into Illuminas or koni Yellows. Personally if I was gonna lower a car that much I'd go with a true coilover kit or Ground Controls & Koni yellows, even then it's gonna be tight/bouncy. If your going that low you definately need high quality parts.
