Default 18's without a drop
when you first get 18 inch wheels does your car actually get higher?

I have 225/40/18s, and yes it lifted my ride.

So I dropped it 1.6" with Hotchkis springs

a little drop on 18's is pretty much a necessity, unless you like looking at lumpy wheel wells all the time...

I don't think it's a "necessity" ... but it does make it look better.
