upgrading stock C32 rims to 19"

hey guys,
had a couple questions on upgrading my stock 17" rims to 19" TSW Bremmas.

1. is it a better setup to run with stock suspension, or should I also do the Renntech springs so the car is lowered a bit?

2. also, does anybody have any pictures with both these setups... 19" Bremmas and stock suspension and 19" Bremmas with Renntech springs?

Any advice/information would be much appreciated. Thanks.

There should be "Someone" on here that can answer your question. I am not exactly sure who though

I think the majority of folks will always say lower is better

Unless you like that ugly gap up front, you should lower it. You'll be much happier if you did

But is there a loss in power?

Ricky...thanks for the PM. I love the look of the 19" Bremmas on the C32, but is there any power loss? Just wondering. I hope no one minded the slight detour for the thread.

Makes no difference if your talking about oversized rims or an oversized passenger ....more weight +same engine power output = slower car...

Renntech springs will work well...
