Ive been lookin into ways to lower the same car man. . . The actual diameter of your new tires isnt that much different from stock, less than a centimeter in fact. (my enkei CDR-9s with the same tires will be here this week =) Pics to come) , so with larger rims, the gap might actually appear bigger so lowering will be key. I was lookin for cheap ways to do it too since im exceedingly strapped for cash and my next mod is gonna be exhaust, not suspension. Really, there isnt a cheap way to lower your car so that it doesnt ride like ****. It'll either be hard as hell or really bouncy if you dont get decent stuff. You could get away without a camber kit if you keep it to 1.5-1.75 inch lowering. . . So maybe neuspeed springs with your choice of shocks/struts, tokico or koni are a good bet although koni is mad expensive. If you come into some money, you could go with the coilover option which to a certain extent increases your leeway as far as camber adjustment, but a decent coilover kit is a good chunk of change. Make sure you check out what you are getting and read review on the ****. Some coilover kits arent complete and just give you springs and the sleeve components but no shocks. Lowering is really one of the things you have to be most careful about because if its not done carefully and correctly, you could ruin the suspension geometry of your car which would not only make it ride like ass, but would decrease the sale value immensely if you chose to return it to stock and get rid of it.
