Just put my new wheels on my 99SE and love them. I had some Borbet Type T's on order with TireRack for 3+ months and decided I just couldn't wait any longer so I bought these instead. Just wondering what others think of the way my car sits. Do you think I should lower it or leave it as is? I do wish the front end was just a bit lower but I like the way the rear sits.

Your car looks good, you should lower it trust me you will be happy that you did.

I agree. It really doesnt look too bad the way it is. But an inch lower would look better thogh  Your car looks sharp with those wheels.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Now I have to ask what springs I should go with if I decide to go lower? Would H&R springs be the best choice for someone who wants to do the majority of the lowering on just the front end? If possible I would like to drop the front about 1.2" and the rear about 3/4". I don't want any rubber (front or rear) to be hidden by the fenders.
Thanks!!!

The BAT sport kit will lower your car nicely. I have 17's, and I can just fit 1 finger (he he he) between the tire and wheel well. I have pics under "Stealth" in the Aesthetics section that you can see.

I think you need to remove that god awful bra for starters!!!! I bought the roush springs and I'm sittin on 16's and there isn't too much gap but the wheels aren't tucked either. You can't beat the price on them either
