      i think its worth it, it looks really good and the car handles so much better, im running H&R's but there are also eibach, intrax, and i know theres another company but i cant remember what it is

      i dont think they will rub, there are some members here with a 17's and lowered, just make sure you get the correct tire size and they shouldnt rub

      Rubbing depends on the offset of the wheels. You can have 18x7.5s on there that wouldn't rub while some 15x5s would.
