Amazing how much better it looks by just evening out the stance!

If it were me, I wouldn't bother with a cat-back exhaust. $500 for a few horsepower and sound...pass for me. I think you'd enjoy wheels more.

17"...not sure if they come in a 16". You planning to keep your tires? If not, I'd go with an 18". Only reason I kept with the 17's is because my tires still have at least 15k miles on them. If your due for tires, bump it up to a 18.

Really?!? I know the bottom of the front strut is tight to the tire. An 18 in. will fit? What about the ss rims?

Awsome. Ill have to think about it. My tires are brand new. They only have four thousand miles on them. But I kinda wanted bigger than 16 inch. Idk ill see whats around. Thanks again for the springs. They looked almost brand new and everything worked out great. Thank you.

Just curious on your opinion. Based on the look of mine with the red and white, do you think I should go with all chrome rims or black with a chrome lip.

Here's the clearance on mine to the strut-plate with 26.1" tall tires on..

That's about tight as I would feel comfortable..

And not all tires are created equal, so some may not fit.

But many members here are running hhr SS rims on ls & lts'..

I'm sticking to my 17", rode in one with 18"s & it is a harsher ride (less sidewall) & less sidewall = more cost for tires etc..
