Thanks guys I really appreciate it. I want to lower the hatchback but the tires I now have on are huge and will scrap the wheel wells. Do y'all know what kind of wheels might look on it? And how low should I lower it when I get smaller wheels on?

abot 2 or 2 1/2 inches any lower and you compromise handling and drivability. i would get some old school jdm looking wheels something like these http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-532-wh...p/53268087.htm

Nice! I like those jdm's. What would be the best way to lower my car? With springs? or coilovers?
