coilovers because the 19's are wide.

if your going wide arch then yeh go for 19s if not and your sticking with standard arches then dont bother it looks soooooooooooo ghey, look at C18 it looks daft on 19s even with the hydros!
And im sorry but people who spend so much on their cars like you have who then moan about soending a few extra quid on things like decent coilovers i just dont get if you wanna do it properly do it if you cant afford to do it properly dont bodge it just to get it done!
Just my 2 pence!
