Does anyone know a good suspension kit so my car doesnt feel like im driving a chuck wagon
Lemme guess. You're looking for something to fill the space in the wheel well? -Seriously. When I was researching wheels and springs I was looking for an even gap in the wheel well. I about got it. 17's and a 1" drop have a VERY even gap, but too much wheel well still showing...

J/k. Actually, those particular ones don't look too bad. I do like reversed wheels, though.

Reversed wheels?? Elaborate. I am unfamiliar w/ this term.

Reversed=dished (or deep dish). You know, that space between the outside of the rim and before the spokes begin. As opposed to spokes that come right out to the edge (flat-like).

Only a few of us are old enough to remember when the coolest thing you could do to your stock steel wheels was have the center disc cut out at the welds, flip it over so the huge backspace was now in the front of the wheel, weld 'em up and have 'em chromed. Throw a set of "baby moons" over the center/lugs and you were in heaven.

Let's knock off the judgemental stuff.... if he wants to do it, its his car. If you or I don't like it, we just don't need to post. There's not much point in beating a dead horse.
