lol seriously, get some pics up asap... I want to see how they look! (good choice with the black drums... I hate when people paint their drums bright colors... it just looks gaudy)
And Jerzy, I don't think you'll have to worry about rubbing, but I'm not 100% sure, having not lowered my car yet.

you'll be good to go stock suspension i wouldn't keep those tires and lower your car then you could be in trouble...u might be able to lower it an inch...or less with no problems i woulnd't go anymore than that tho
