Look Great!!!! What tires/sizes did you go with? Do you notice a significant change in power when taking off or accelerating? Is your car lowered?

Thanks!

I have not notice a signifigant change in power or acceleration. Im sure there may be a minor difference but it was noticable to me. To be honest I compared my Genius Darwin rims to the Xtatic Complex rims and these are alot lighter set up.
Yes my car is lowered with the H&R suspension. Good news is the car does not rub at all even with cornering fast.

The tire size that I recommend are 195/40/17 for the front and 225/35/17 for the rear since its a staggard set up.
I had a Brand new set of tires that came in so im running 205/40/17 all around for the moment. I plan to go with a staggard set up eventuly when my Dunlop Sponsor send me my tires for 09 show season.
