Yeah, the car lowering is going to come first. My camaro has the ZR1 17" rims and it's lowered. But because of how much tire I have on the rim, it makes it much more of a bumpy ride than the stock 16s it originally had. Which brings me to my Accord...since it has stock 16s.
The probability of getting 17s for the Accord probably isn't all that high, since I enjoy the "stock" comfy ride right now as it is. I'm just waiting for Eibach to come out with some springs for the 03 Accord. My friend has a 98 Accord and the Eibachs that are on her car feels just like stock...so a nice and comfy ride for that long commute of mine.
As far as the leather interior, it was a must since I'm going to be in the car just as long as being at home. Might as well spoil yourself every now and then
