If i go with larger, hevyer, tires it will increase unsprung weight. Wont that deacrease handiling?

not if you get decent rims. look into Rotas slipsteams or circuit 8s or 10s. they are all really lightweight, and with goo dtires, will make a massive difference in handling. there are other choices as well, such as Spoon, Mugen and Volk, but they cost a grip.

also take a look at upper and lower strut bars. also, i knew lowering your car will lower the center of gravity, therefore making it easier to stay on the ground while cornering, but i never really thought it would do much. i got mine lowered about 2" to 2.5" down, and the corner is quite noticable. Go with wide rims, lowered, and strut bars. although i dont have struts, with my old rims and stock height, i couldnt take 90 degree corners at 50km/h, now with winder n bigger rims (and new rubber), and lowered, i can take em at nearly 70km/h. that's with going into the left lane and ending up on the left side, it's not a rally car .... yet ;)
