coilovers will give you better handling.

go coilover mate!

you dont want to rock around with big rims and standard height mate!

yeh its legit.

PM EG5 or any other traders. theyll have brand new coils available and if u want a second hand set id check the marketplace!

but yes. coilovers. puttin on big rims n low profile tyres aint gonna help ur handling.

Depending on the wheels and tyres you choose bigger wheels and low profile tyres won't neccesarily make your car handle better. Definately go with coils first. Coilovers combined with lightweight wheels and sticky high performance tyres will net you a very notciable gain through the turns

get some good coilovers, bang for buck i'd say. but yeah also tyres play a role too, get something grippy something that sits flush would be nice
