Light wheels are usually forged, and forged wheels are always strong... so basically you should say "I didn't wanna go light because it is too expensive" 
They look good though... spray tire dressing in your wheel wells to black them out! And yes, it'll look way better lowered.
What kind of firestone tires are they? Wide ovals?

koni's are great if you're not looking for the hardcore coilover setups.. plus they're very affordable at around $1000 or a little under vs others at $1300+
(call for exact pricing on the kit/application)
if you set the koni coilover shocks to the stiffest setting all around, they handle very nice and are still very nice for daily driving. remember that koni makes the shocks for the elusive Stasis coilovers!
otherwise i always suggest to do the street H&R coilovers for most people, unless they're into hardcore racing of course. the H&R street coilovers come with the shocks set pretty much perfect (but can't be adjusted like the koni's) and the spring rates on the h&r streets are very balanced as well.

nope, its a differnet wheel by a local wheel company around here. Its a close design but not the same.
Yes the suspension is next. Around xmas time i think, depends on what my friend can get me for a deal on coilovers. I want Tein i think, maybe Koni. How do koni's ride. Actually next is teh Ecode HID retrofit cause taht would be in a few weeks.

I have Firestone Fuzion ZRis, i bought them b/c i was stranded in the middle of no where an hour from my house and only had a doughnut for a spare. So i bought those.

i
Well basic Tein coilovers are 899 and Super Street are 1250. So i think i would stick with tein. Anyone have these? My friend is a wholesaler and can get both tein and H&Rs for pretty cheap.
