Looks sick. Sedans can pull off 17s better than coupes.

Wow, that is just straight-up sexy. I actually kind of like the slightly raked stance it has now.

I never had any problems with the beam (the only thing that ever cut my tires was the fender lip, and that was before I rolled it), but I was on Ground Controls with KYB AGXs set almost as stiff as they'd go.

^ Yup. If that were a coupe, white 17's would look giant. The only reason I got away with 17's was because the outer lip was black and the inner lip was polished, which made the wheels look smaller than they actually were.

Okay, you might have problems with the beam then (on the other hand, you might not); skunk2 coilovers are fairly soft compared to GC's. My suspension setup was so stiff I could literally feel every small rock (gravel-sized rocks, not big ones) I hit on the road... that's most likely why I didn't have problems with that beam.
