Default Help/Advice on Lowering My Car

Just like the title say I'm looking for advice/help on what to keep in mind when lowering my car. I've never really liked low cars (bad experience on a previous camaro I had) but I've decided I want my car to have a better stance. I'm looking to get coil overs, what else is recommended to get for a better stance besides the coil overs?

What kind of "stance" are you looking for? Track, stooped hella flush with vip cambers, etc. B&G coilovers probably achieve the lowest ride height for the tC but there are many other good ones out there, do your reSEARCH. TCs also have a tendancy to cause unneeded stress on the axles leading to premature failure like on many cars that are lowered.

I have been doing research with this for about about one or two months, but I wanted opinion of people who have already lowered their tCs on what they would recommend I should purchase. I'm thinking of a flush look. I am planning on getting XXR 522 18x8.5 +40 and tires 225/40/18 for coilovers H&R and TRD rear sway bar.

I had the B&Gs back in the day before I went air. I loved them, and if I had to do it all over again, I would buy them again.

As for the wheels, meh... I have my opinions. I suggest you keeping an eye out in the PPC for a good set of wheels with good offsets. You can get a great, used set of nice wheels on here for a good deal.
