I'm just getting into modding my car, and was curious as to what the difference between coilovers and lowering springs are? pros and cons of each? Also, How do you make sure to pick a rim that will fit right after you've started lowering it? Could somebody explain offsets and everything to me?

Read our suspension wheel and tire forum. It's on the NICO menu on the right side of the page, at the bottom. Several threads per page concerning this very subject.
