      Yes. But in your case I would personally spend the money that would have gone to the bars and buy dampening adjustable coilovers.

      Yes, I am bringing up my thread again. Ride Height Coilovers are about 300 bucks without any damping adjustment. In regards to the ultra racing bar that sits on top of the struts, I don't see the correlation between damping adjustment to body stiffness. If it's a anti-roll bar that sits on the bottom and ties the moving parts together, then I can see how a better coil-over would work. For example if a car is a right hand turn, then the car will roll to the left. That means the passenger side suspension component will prevent any body rise. (correct?). (BTW, I am not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand through questioning).

      Now back to wheels: I have a choice between a 15x6.5 or a 16x7. The 15 gives more sidewall and it's slightly narrow compared to the 16x7. Granted the 16 look sharper and will have a "stiffer" performance and they typically cost about 100 bucks more.

      Rabbit knows I am committed to coilovers, will I have a problem with the 16x7 when I lower my vehicle? My rear tires are getting "thin" so it's time I replace them. I might as well apply the 150 bucks of replacement and replace all my wheels.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....
