Don't really like those wheels. Also, you will be waiting along time on that NST pulley unless you find someone with a used one

lol the wheels are a love it or hate it type, but different and not many people have them. Had these on my blue 08 camry before it was totaled. was able the Salvage the wheels. looked better on the Camry though, but instead of spending another 1k-2k on wheels and tires i decided to put that money into mods and use these wheels.

I think the one inch drop will be perfect for your ride and X2 on the sway bar set. Haha I actually just got mine in, can't wait to install them.

I originally wanted to do this and not go with chrome at all but was able to salvage the wheels so I just tossed them on. I bought them for $300 on a close out special for my 08 Carmy a couple years ago.

they all help with the handling slightly when installed separately but as a set they work great(traction, mid chassis, and rear strut) and you will definitely fell the difference . the c-pillar bar is for more looks but it does take away the annoying creaking sound from the moon roof when closed. i liked there product thats why im getting the rear chassis bar. and easy to install just need pb blaster to remove bolts and you'll be done in 10-15 min.
