I was looking into purchasing some kyb sturts and either sportline or TRD lowering springs, my original plan was to buy stock matrix rims, 16" oppose to my stock 15" celica GT rims. But im having trouble finding matrix rims, either the newer style (04+) or the older (00-03). I was just wondering how the ride would be with the stock 15's and with the car sitting an inch to and inch and a half lower. Would it be alot bumpier (if thats even a word) I know with the droped suspension it will stiffen up, but would it be better to get larger rims and tires????
Thoughts? Opinions? Maybe some hits on matrix rims? Thanks --------------------  Kawi Love |

Oh dang, I can't believe your actually going to lower it with stock rims? That's just dumb. No one should ever do that. It would look and ride like crap. You need to go out and get you at least a set of 17s for that, man. If you can't afford it or need extra cash, hit me up because I'd like to buy your stock wheels. lol
