Welcome.
If it was me, 1.5-2.0" mated to performance shocks. 18" wheels would be a nice balance of looks and performance.
Search here on the board, there is a ton of info that can be found by searching.

welcome, 05Couper.
I agree with all of jschmid's suggestions.
you'll find that the consensus opinion here is that chrome rims don't belong on hondas. everything else (size, color, etc.) is up to you. a lot of people like gunmetal and bronze. there is a lot of useful info on suspension on here, especially LordAccord's new suspension FAQ. search for one of his posts and he has the FAQ linked in his sig. be prepared to spend if you want to lower the right way.

Thanks for the welcome!
And I am reading the FAQ now, so if that answers my previous questions, I'll know.
Yeah, I am not a chrome fan. Love gunmetal though, probably go that way. Also like a thicker spoke design, like 5 3" spokes or similar.
It'll be a while before I do anything, just want to start budgeting

the rims are cool. get that kit! OEM kits are outstanding in terms of looks and quality. my sister has one on her 98.
i think the honda suspension upgrade gives you a 1" drop.

Well, the big thing is if I get that kit/drop/wheel package, I can have it all still covered under warantee since I would have the dealer install it all. Problem is, the OEM drop kit says it only works on V-6 modeals, and that I don't have. Aparently, the drop is the same on the I4's, but rides a little stiffer. I don't know if the dealer will sign off on that though, as it is a model the shoks are not listed for.

But seriously, I am not a fan of the styling of the 7 gen coupes anyway, but the wheels would look nice on any other car.
