Really you think so? Regamasters are rare to me. A lot of people in my area rock Rota Slipstreams. The fake Spoon SW388s.

Thanks guys. I hope the rears settle in a wee bit more... But yeah, about wheels being played out. I see it this way, any wheel you wanna get, other people will most likely have it and shit, if it looks super clean on your car, then by all means go for it. I hate when people try to get all original and get wheels that look just stupid like teddy bear wheels jdm yo! haha. (I swear I saw em on a scion forum. teddy bear wheels..??!! WTF)
AHAH! I found em, I'm getting these:

As for handling, the are stiffer than stock, but not extremely stiff. You still get a lil bit of body roll from HARD cornering but I mean, they are so perfect for daily. They have good spring rates so you don't hit a bump then hit your head on the ceiling. It is still a mellow ride, just stiffer in the corners. You def. wanna get toe adjusted after lowering cause even with my mild drop my toe is off. It handles better but wears tires waay faster than if it threw off camber.

I haven't got it adjusted yet lol. I love the responsiveness it has now. You won't lose grip, it will just loose a lil bit of responsiveness. When you drive down the road and turn the wheel left and right rapidly it is a little sluggish stock, but with the toe adjustment, it just makes it turn really quick. But no, you won't lose grip in that aspect. Now you will overall because when you lower the car, the suspension becomes stiffer. Whenever you stiffen suspension, always expect to have to get grippier tires if you want to run the corners really fast. It won't hurt for daily driving but for autoX def. get better tires. Theoretically if you were to run a lowered fit with stock tires against a reg fit with stock tires, the regular fit would have better grip.
Also, it will cost more than a regular alignment. I got quoted 80 bucks from a reputable local shop. But thats for a full alignment. It should be cheaper for just a toe adjustment.

Hah, that was my biggest fear, F-ing it up. I figured "why modify a brand new car" I did the springs and now I can't stop thinking about what else I wanna do lol. But yeah, the stance is sexy as hell. Get em man, you will like them. They are a perfect spring rate for daily driving and all
