Springs and Wheels

[BlackSportivo]

Hi there guys.
Curious questions regarding MY04 GEN5 Sportivo.

1) I want to upgrade my wheels, but thinkin which option is better. 17's or 18's
im leaning towards 18 because of looks and also i would like comfort like the stock 16's. What do you guys think.. keepin in mind i want a quiet ride not loud

2) Nex question is lowerin springs. Im thinkin Sportivo Springs. Mayb eibach depends on price. Does ne1 have price on these?

Thanks

PERSONALLY, EVERYONE LOVES 18'S...BUT THE PRICETAG IS THE TURNOFF. My feling is for 17"s...cheaper tire and more bang for the buck rim...Only problem is they look like crap if the car isn't dropped. Oh, and 17 inch rim and tires are for the most part quieter than 18"s. Eibach springs are real good..I don't know about the sportivos

I wouldn't worry about the costs as much as the road conditions around where you live/work/go, etc...


otherwise, especially with a gen5, our cars a big....so the 18s look perfect....17s do as well, but can look kind of small

I hear king springs are really good, they are from AUS. Also, i love my Vogtlands if you can get them.

This is not a WRX...


King springs or Pedders springs are good here in Aus. I'm running Pedder Sport Ryder atm and there great.
