well if your going with handling don't know how much those 18's are gonna help ya.....I would go with a small lightweight wide wheel (16x8) for example, with some nice tire to improve grip/braking. How are the STD Coilovers??? never seen them in person or a review of them never been a fan of the basics... jumpy as hell on low speed bumps but your setup sounds pretty solid.. just changing tires/smaller lighter wheels would probably make the most out of your setup

the megan front upper is a weak bar, youll want something like a apr or tanabe or c-one/beatrush you can also get your under bracing bars to help it handle better

well, like they mentioned, i think 17's wouldn't hurt you by too much, but the tires you use will be the most beneficial thing you can buy in terms of handling. They do sell some under bracing and more rear trunk support that you could buy to help stiffing everything up. If your not going to be using the rear seats, you should also go with a roll cage, that will also make your car more rigid plus adds more safety. It all depends on how much you want it to handle, not everyone has the same preference.

:wtf:
any bigger size wheel is going to hurt performance.
if you really wanna go with more handling go with wider or even smaller size wheels that will help on breaking and on grip.

Of course a bigger size wheel will hurt performance, but if he is looking to get 18s, i would rather get 17s since they generally weigh less, also tire selection is plentiful and cheaper. A lot of people, including myself would get 15s and 16s to help on performance/handling, but not everyone likes the look of it. So since he is looking at 18s, i suggested that a 17 wouldn't hurt his performance as much as a 18.

oh dang I was reading the post like he already had that stuff on his car...... but since he doesn't have any of this stuff on his car already.. yeah bro it's hard to go flush... and good handling... but from what I can tell all you have is tein basics?? IMHO with the list you provided and your "handling goals" I would go with the Hotckis stuff, TRD 3 point, coilovers... ehhh I don't know much about STD if they're better go for it.. if you have money get something better Revalve konis w/ Custom spring rates, KW, Tein Monoflex etc... and like littleman said 17's shouldn't be bad if you want the big wheel look but don't want to giveup on handling... just make sure they're decently light and most important get decent tire.... or like me get Really Good tires and swap with your stockies with a/s tires.

yeah for that kinda power I would get some sticky tire to hold it down the Direzza 101 aren't gonna do beans for the ponies you're putting out, you can try the Direzza Star Specs, Potenza RE01R's, Goodyear Eagle F1's if you want something that lasts longer. Toyo T1R would be nice as well.
