[QUOTE="donpisto, post: 5538872, member: 568577"] OP, the answers to your question have already been mentioned...I'll quote them all in this post. I'm not sure how much more clarification you need but it's pretty black and white. [B]SUMMARY[/B]: If you are on a stock suspension, it will sag. You will lose gas mileage due to the added weight of the rims and system, braking distance and time will decrease, acceleration will decrease, cornering will be affected (if taken at higher speeds), the size of the tires and the actual quality of the tire will make a difference in ride quality, camber and toe can be off (leading to horrible inner tire wear), it is more flashy and attracts more attention.... those are all the negative aspects. As for positive, well, only one I can think of is that it can make the vehicle look nicer. *EDIT: Even on aftermarket suspension it can sag. Coilovers are pricey but you can adjust the height. Also aftermarket springs will sag overtime as well, so keep that in mind [/QUOTE]
