One additional mod that people do not pay attention to, is that by lowering the car, the length of the panhard rod becomes an issue. We used a turnbuckle type of panhard rod so the axle could be centered after lowering it.
Also, the SPG type fender flares add an uncomfortable amount of space between the body and the tire.
So, if you are running a lowered car, want to use 16in Aeros, and the SPG flares, you might be stuck with the 195 width, even if you relocate the rear axle, AND fix the panhard rod into the center. Use a tire diameter calculator online to try to keep the stock wheel assembly diameter when using the 16inchers....
I would be careful not to extend the bumpstops if you are doing track or very spirited driving.
