18s will look even worse, you need to lower the car.

I would keep the 17s, they look real nice, but lower the car like everybody said.

Here. It is a sucky rendition, but it gets the point across.

Here's one of my old cars with 17 inch wheels that was also lowered.

If it makes you happy, sure. I dont know much about early 924 torsion bars, but I dont think you need new torsion bars to lower your ride. On late 924S 944 type cars you can reindex your bars to a lower setting.
The inside splines are 40, and the outside splines are 44, you move the inside spline forward and the outside spline back to get minute adjustments. I am not the authority on this, check Clarks Garage. Changing torsion bars can stiffen your suspension depending on what you buy.
