    JOM's are bouncy as....well compared to the more premium ones. I would recommend saving a bit more money and getting something in the middle of the price range. Even the JOMs with the adjustable dampening would be better. Jus' sayin'.

    Legal height? More like boring height, SLAMMM ITTT!

    Guard rolling / coilovers will happen. Unfortunately it's a 3 week wait on the wheels...
    your going the wrong way then.
    if you want to be safe of 8et20, you need to go to 8et25 etc, not a lower number...

    Yeah I realise this... But then I realised I was aiming for mediocrity.... I was going to go +10's but went to +15's... haha

    Same goes for the coilovers I guess... I have the money there just reluctant to spend a ****load on something that I won't use the potential of...

    you'll only need a roll and I have a guard roller....with a heat gun it's simple stuff, so don't go paying a monkey to do it....

    and your wheels will sit pretty with a 5-10mm spacer out back....

    as for coilovers, any will be fine at the height you're going to screw them to..... to be honest, I think with this wheel and tyre combo, dropping to legal height is going to look gayer then aids.... but we'll see I guess.....lol

    Ah, I ran 195's for about 2 weeks and sold them. I had 185/45's for a little bit, now I've got 175/55's and IMO they're perfect
