New Rims or new suspension?

Hey,

Should I get some 18's or stick with my lighter 16x7s and buy a set of true coilovers? I am pretty tired of my cut ST springs and Tokicos, and I am a little worried about the pot hole problem with 18s.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

get the coilovers...if you don't mind the way your wheels look now and enjoy the light smaller rims, stick with em and upgrade the suspension...plus summer's over and winter's just around the corner, wait on the rims. but then again it's your call.

Suspension first then rims. If you get 17's there will be people saying you should have go 18's. Get 18's "should have got 19's" get 19's "should have got 20's" and on and on till 26's+ .

Yup, why limit yourself to 18's? Might as well go 19.

If I get sprint spring I will have to get AGXs and then there isn't enough money for rims, so I might as well have gotten coilovers.

Plus there is no waythat I am putting 19s on my car they are just too big.
