lowering sport with stock alloys

i have been considering lowering my sport package fit for some time now and have decided to go ahead and go through with it. I will be keeping the stock alloys on for now (i kind of like the look of them), so i was wondering if anyone knew of a decent spring setup that would work. I dont want it slammed, especially with the lip kit i know its going to be hard not to scrape everywhere i go, i would just like to know a safe setup i could run that would look good but not sit so low that the lip kit drags the ground.

pssh...

even with my tein s techs which some people say its too low. i didnt scrape much. dont get me wrong i scraped pretty hard...but thats because i was at an incline and in the middle of a large dip in the road. other then that, i didnt even scrape once.

keep the stock alloys, get different color lug nuts and lower your car with some tein s-techs. i know you will be happy with that set up.

Does it look weird if it's lowered on GF210's since the stock 15" alloy stick in a bit more.

that's a pretty subjective question,whether or not it will look weird. in my opinion, it will look fine but if you're very into your car you might want to change the wheels to fill out the wheel wells a little better. it's really up to you.

Springs from Eibach and H&R have good experience. Stick with a 1.5 front and 1" rear drop with wheels of at least 42 mm offset for 19555 and 45 mm for 205/40 tires.
