I'm thinking of lowering my ep; as well as, replace the stock rims for some 16s or 17s(help me decide).
I found this very helpful,

but, I still need some help...
Should I purchase rims and tires first and install them on my ep while the suspension is still stock? With it on, how good/bad will it affect my driving and stock suspension? Tire size isn't an issue at the moment, since I found other helpful threads that talk about not rubbing against the inside and stuff, so I'm ok there =D
OR?!
Should I just leave the stock 15s on for now, and purchase a decent set of lowering springs (looking for at least a 2" drop)? Anything else I should also consider besides the springs? (I don't want to deal with the new lowering springs killing the stock shocks and what not.) What brands would you guys recommend? Anyone have any pics of a drop still on stocks?
I could really use all of your expertise on this!!! Been thinking wayyyy to long and hard for me to come up with a decision.
