Ride isn't that bad, stiffer for sure but every car I've ever owned has been dropped so it's no big deal.

I don't plan on doing the handles...I just made a list of things I always see suggested for people to do to their cars which actually makes the car less unique cuz then it looks like everyone else.

Yes they are the extended lugs, I wanted to get the Work RS-R lugs which feel like they are about half the weight but they didn't have them in my thread pitch so I went with these...and I don't have Work wheels.

looks good but i thought you're not suppose to run aftermarket lugs with stock wheels??? something about it not being able to sit right and it might come loose over time. is that true??

Yes, ride is incredibly stiff...u feel every bump on the road. My car is an 04 .5 with 41k miles so I think its time to change them. Thinking of throwing some Tokico blues on there to help the ride quality.
