Sweet ride!!! Your choice of rims along with the color of the body give the car that clean classy look. I like it.

Looks good man! I'm not much into lowering cars, but I would lower it with those type of rims.

Nice pics! Get some more when you get the chance. Also when you get your exhaust installed take some pics of that while your at it[8D]. Is the exhaust polished stainless steel?

Ryan,
Nice looking ride. I also have 20's and I lowered mine with Eibach Sportline springs. It was a 2" drop, I kinda wish I went with the Eibach Pro-Kit, which is about 1.3" drop. I bought the springs from Discount Tire, not sure if they are in your area, but they offered the best price, plus no shipping charge. I paid about $245 including tax. I paid a shop about $200 to install them and another $50 for the alignment. You will probably need a Camber bolt (SPC p/n 81260, http://www.specprod.com/PROD_DIR/PROD_PASSCAR.HTML ) to adjust camber, as this is not adjustable otherwise, also the toe will probably be out a bit after dropping.

Here's a before and after pic of my car...

why do you wish you would have went 1.3 drop instead of 2?

the sportline drop the car 2' but the downside of that is the ride quality goes down... the pro-kit is awesome and still has good ride quality

Its true.. but you dont get the same look..

With 20's you dont need to go with Sportlines.. Mine are 18's (sig) and fit the wheel well pretty perfectly IMO.. 20's would be pretty overkill.. like double chocolate icecream with chocolate sauce and fudge brownie on top.. you can't go wrong, its just a bit much..
