Basic modding help

Hey guys..Im fairly new to all the modding and just wanted some advice. Im not looking to race or get all crazy under the hood. I just want to rock some rims (18 vs 19) and lower my car to make it nice (springs or coils). Any advice or suggestions would be great!

springs are cool if you want to get rid of the fender gap but if you want a nice ride and a drop i would get coils. price is a big difference from springs being ~250 and coils are about 1k

Would the Eibach Pro Kit provide similar ride to stock springs? Ive heard good things about the Eibach pro kit and the BC coils.

yea i have eibach and it rides similar to stock springs. it kills the fender gap for sure. if you have the money i would get coils. i was too anxious thats why i got springs but one day ill get coils. it also depends on where you live. if their is alot of pot holes and s***y roads you dont want to be slammed. good luck.

If you dont want to controll the ride height and dampening then get springs. If you do then coils is the way to do. As for the wheels go 20s, imo 19s look to small unless they have a huge lip.
