I am lowered all around on H&R's but the driveway is not very straight so the front actually sits about a 1/4" higher and the back is about 1/4-1/2" lower. I am thinking of going maybe another 1/4-1/2" lower all around.

5spd right? On my Auto the H&Rs sit lower in the front, its actually almost perfect but on my 5spd there is a very VERY slight sag in the rear. The are both on Konis struts.

My advice is just go for Ground Controls or full on Coilovers preferably BC&Tien those 2 brands will ride better than in Spring/strut combo.

Those look amazing. I have a sterling mist 99 also and was considering getting a set of these wheels.. (I'm riding on 2000 se's now). Good to see they look as good as I thought they would.

Looks great man! How is the ride compared to your previous rims (Assuming they were 16s or 17s)?

How much? Where'd you find it? And it fit perfectly? Or you had to do some mods?

Ebay $60, and no it's not a perfect fit, it does not line up perfectly and you will have to trim the edges because it stick out about a 1" past the bumper ( towards the wheels ) but it still looks nice and from 5ft away you cant even tell that it's not perfect lol
