I was concerned with a drop because it is my daily driver and I do have many passengers in it. I know it will look a whole lot better dropped…

Ditto. Even if you have passengers, the lowering springs are stiffer than stock, and you don't really need to slam it, just a decent drop would do.

Start your own thread....perhaps in the regional sexctions under your area. This is Baddog's thread about his wheels.

I don't know where you live, but I got my windows tinted at "5 Star Window Tint" in Torrance, CA. The front tint is 35% and the back half is 55%.

Now that I have 35 series tires I do have a rougher ride. How will the ride quality be if I change the springs to lower the car? I don't want to be bouncing around town!

As I mentioned; I use this car as my daily driver and I drive around 65 miles a day. I need to be as comfortable as possible. I need to find a happy middle ground.
