You should go back to 19" if you want performance.

For performance you need to go back to 19's. These cars cannot be aligned correctly with 20's and they ride super stiff, which throws off any suspension mods made to the car.

The stock or the Bilsteins are made for the sidewall on 19's and as such the low profile tires needed for 20's makes it very stiff (don't forget that the sidewall flex is used in suspension parameter design).
