I'm in the process of lowering my 09' sedan but I'm not sure which wheel size to go with. The area I live in has poor streets so I'm worried that the random bumps and pot holes will causes damage. I'm thinking of a wheel size of 16" thank you for the help.

wheels and tires pack cost much more then the lowering coils them selves so I figure it would be best to get both first and then instali within the same day but I'm just getting lower coils what will happen to my suspension do I need to get more then coils?

Just swap out the springs, youll be fine.

The lowering springs put more stress on the stock struts/shocks cause theyre not made be compressed that much with the aftermarket springs but you will be ok. It just shortens the life of the oem struts/shocks a little.
