    Yeah the wheels I took off were 19", and with the tires, the overall diameter was 0.58" larger. The 17"s with I've got now are 0.35" larger than stock. So if I got 18" wheels, I'd get 215/40-18 to closely match the original and only be 0.15" off the overall diameter. It should save me future speeding tickets lol.

    No, the sway bar doesn't move much except for on the very ends.

    Here's a pic, the exhaust is obvious and the sway bar is yellow.

    Ah I see. I think my piping hits speed bumps when it comes back down and hits the sway bar :(

    You mean it gets sandwiched between the bar and bump?

    My exhaust was indeed scraping from being so low, the tip would catch driveways, and the cat would hit speedbumps.

    Yeah and I thought scraping and being slammed was stupid, so I put my car at a driveable height, because I'd rather it perform better than look better. So I'm probably gonna reshape things to look better at the height I'm at now (rims and smaller lip kit).

    I will say once again that you should just get bags then Gold. They preform very well and there's track proven kits.

    And in other news, I'm liking the "new" wheels in every way. The ride is still just as harsh/firm (still 45PSI) but now the alignment is spot on (the old wheels pulled right ever so slightly) and now my speedometer is perfectly in sync with my GPS.
