Nice wheels! They suit the car really well!

What springs are you going for?

Read the later posts, might influence your decision about Super Lows.

Also, PM Phildough on here, (I think) he still has a set of pedders shocks and springs that I was actually going to buy, but found a set of Tein S Tech's for cheaper - still doesent beat a strut and spring combo though! They were off an Astina too.

Firmer than stock, but not uncomfortable. Road noise is about the same. It handles much better but there are firmer options out there. Overall I'm happy with the outcome, I never wanted this car to fly around a track, so for zippy, city commuting it's a good compromise.
