    I agree, although once you lower it the wheels look bigger

    Nice choice, it's funny how you said you'll lower it but not sure on rims, but you did other way around xD.

    On 20's all you need is SL's all round, if you really want to like i did i got shortened shockers and stuff too. Keeps it just as comfortable as normal springs. even when i had SSL.

    SSL will probably get your camber wear though..

    How much did the 20's cost you anyway?

    I have got the number of a local shop that lowers cars, just havnt gotten around to it. Im not in any real rush though.
    Oh and the rims n tyres cost $1700.

    mmmm love the vy/vz shape! you should definitely lower it IMO! SL all round would look unreal! With your car you should even be able to correct the camber properly!

    Sometimes im tempted to buy a clubsport body kit and do away with the stock.
    I dont know how well my car would handle and perform with 20s on it if I supercharge it. I still have the original rims sitting in the garage so may toss them back on.
