does my car sit too High? pic.

Im trying to get other oppions on what rims would look good on my ride and what kind of drop, should i throw skinny tires on these rims and drop it 2 inch all around or get 18s and small drop?

these are 16 inch rims wrapped in brand new Michelin 215/50 front and 215/55 rear.

IMO, I'd get some 18" rims (non chrome) that you like and a 1.5" drop. As for color of the rims, I'd go with a nice silver since your car is maroon. Black/gunmetal wouldn't be too bad either, but is my second choice.

Go with 18's and a decent drop. As for tires get something with a 40 sidewall.

I'm on 18's with 225/40 tires and dropped on Eibach's/AGX's. Look at my sig for reference

where could i buy a rear sway bar? mine doesnt have one, and damn rims will make it stiffer?

i was thinking about paying a shop to compress my stock springs and cut a coil or two off them for now, it will be a while till i get the exact set up i want.
