the car looks great lowered like that and with those rims , that being said your performance , and ride is gonna suffer . Its too low for my taste and have fun getting traction .
But the car does look awesome, so you totally did that perfect .,

Ramairetransam: My ride quality is better than it was with just lowering springs, and the difference in handling is like night and day. As for performance, Nope. No Suffering there either. I believe you are just using the typical, "it's slammed" or "it has big wheels" to assume that. These cars are not like 4th gens. No more solid rear axles.

As for it handling better and better traction. Sorry, you have never been in a good handling car then. It cannot and will not work.
It looks good for show, but no way a stretched rubber band handles better or gets more traction. There is a reason the 5th Gen race cars use 20s or 18s.
The tires are at least 50mm too narrow. I will never understand this style, I promise you the tire spec shows at least a 2" narrower rim. There is a reason for this. Same as you do not put a 315 on a 9" rim.
As I said it looks cool, just not my taste. I would see it at a cruise or a show and stop and look, but would never have a desire to do it to any of my cars. I like to drive them hard, and them to work correctly while doing so.
Just do not tell me it handles better because it has these on it. Someone who does not know better might believe you.

Nobody said anything about traction. And Im not trying to track my car or say it will out handle a camaro on 18" wheels. Obviously with all that extra rubber its going to handle better. Anyone can tell you that. Im saying that with the way the car drives and handles now, is a lot better and a lot more controllable than a stock 5th gen. Im not sure if you have driven one...but they are like a boat stock...
so like i said...it handles a lot better than it did stock. And i like a nice all around car. Not just a car that handles like a demon...thats what my 4th gen is for.

Good to hear I got Megan coilovers for my srt4 caliber.. just waiting for warmer weather to put them on.. hope it drives and handles better when installed... I don't know why this turned into argument.. just tell him he has a bad *** ride or s.t.f.u.
