if you keep the same diameter as you have with the current wheels you have. If you go up to a larger diameter tire (to fill the wheel well), then you'll have an awkward handling car. Lowering springs are your best bet and it looks very nice. Recently, someone posted that Eibachs are now available for the 9000. These are excellent progressive springs which won't give you the harshness of most lowering springs yet will perform on demand. I've lowered my car with Intrax springs (~2") and the "sex appeal" factor went up quite a lot. The wheel wells are quite full with both 15" and 16" wheels. Handling is great but they are on the harsh side but it's not too low (the height is actually just right). Planning on getting some Eibachs someday.
