Yea im planning to drop it a little, but not too much or too low that that rims will cause trouble with rubbing and such. Just want it a little lower for a nicer look. But I need to save up some more

Also need lowered shocks, otherwise she'll get a shitty ride and the OEM shocks will leak after a few thousand kms.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I have a question about driving manual. Im in WA and havent been for a lesson with an instructor YET, but have been driving with my parents. They are teaching me to downshift so slow the car down when needed. What is recommended? Downshifting or putting it in neutral and using the brake?

Brake, downshift if needed, but don't put it in neutral at above say.... 20km/h.
