I Need your Opinion Please!

OK,
I am debating on getting some wheels for my 2002 SE. Here is what I have debated...

1) Get new 18 inch wheels and tires. About $2K at least.
2) Keep stock 17 inch wheels and lower it w/ H&R's and get the RSTB and FSB. About $700 - $900

With the New wheels It will look really nice.
With the H&R's etc... it will handle better look sleeker and I save about a Grand.
What is your opion??

Thanks

Why slow your car down with bigger wheels, go for the improved handling. I would try a RSB before a FSB to transfer more of the forces to the rear suspension for improved cornering under power.

Lower it man!!! Then add a FSTB and RSB and it will handle like it's on rails. (IMHO, don't get the RSTB, it won't do much, and the isn't a FSB).
