Hi fellas,

Well I just purchased my eg, and the dude before me had it lowered heavily. I would say pretty damn close to legal limit, and scraping out has become my forte.

Would bigger rims help this? I was thinking about 16s, should I go larger?

Depends on tyre size and overall Circumfrence. If the same outer diameter tyre, it will not make any difference. If a larger tyre, yes it will heighten your car, but will also make your speedo inaccurate.

If you wanna raise it, do it the proper way, get stock springs or coilovers or whatever.

here's a calculator that will work out how fast or slow you're travelling according to your speedo, it'll give you a rough idea
