Default Changing to 18's

I'm on the verge of changing my standard 17" Newage STI wheels to 18", either pff7's or Turini's.

My question is, will the car sit right once changed on the standard STI springs and dampers? Or will I need lowering springs to make it look right???

My car is a 2003 STI in blue and the new wheels will be in silver (want a change from gold)

Any pics would be very welcome.

Cheers.
John.

If you put the correct tyres the rolling radius is the same, so no reason for it not to sit spot on.

Ahhh, of course. So it's purely cosmetic getting lowering springs? Has anyone got pics of before and after fitting new springs??

Time for a trawl through some threads I think...

Cheers.
