definately lower it..IMO those rims don't look very good that small. Save up and get 18"+

again y 18"s n a base model they r just gonna be heavy paper weights and not look right unless u get ss bumpers go w/ a nice looking17"

my 17's look fine. as far as lowering it, i got some ssc lowering springs that dropped it about 1 1/2"-2" and it looks way better than sittin up. its a little stiffer but i also put koni yellows in at the same time and ride those a turn back from full stiff. it hugs the road a lot better and the only issue i've had is coming out of steep driveways with the front.
the price is going to depend on if you want just the springs, if you want springs and shocks, or coilovers. my koni's were 670 when i got em, and my springs were around 250. coilovers just combine the 2 all at once.

does anyone know how much ss/tc springs would lower it?

Less than an inch, not noticable at all, but the ride is better, more responsive
