Me personally, i like the way it rides with the 20" wheels, after the H&R lowering i kind of hated the 18" tires...too tall and too much sidewall, the 20"s are perfect for me, much tighter in the corners, but that's me...

Good job, u know ur thing!! Now u just need to watch for potholes with those 20's rubber band tires.. But I'm sure the roads are always nice in Florida, so u should be mint! :P

I think it definitely handles better, than it did with my 18" stockers.
