what should I do first

[roxy_h05]

I have a 2009 silver corolla s and I want to mod it up but also keep it clean. I am not sure what to do first its either get a lowering kit or rims. But if I get the rims it will add more weight and the handling will be different. Any ideas?? on what can I do to my car to give it a clean look

How about window tint? Keeps the cars clean look without adding weight. Also if you take a look at the stock rims for the S you will notice most rims upgrades will actually save you on weight. I think they are like 25 lbs per.

TRD lowering springs, TRD front strut brace and TRD rear sway bar will improve your handling.

Light performance rims are expensive. If you are going to spend money on rims that are only 1lb lighter in weight....may as well clear your trunk...haha

Some of the mods you should consider as well.....

TWM short shifter
Magnaflow muffler (if you want your exhaust note to be a little more aggressive)

Does anybody have some pics of how a corolla looks lowered and with the stock wheels?

a car with nice upgraded wheels and not lowered just looks like crap. absolute crap.

but here is my car lowered with factory wheels for the winter.
