For those of you who have gone with bigger wheels on your car what tires are you currently running ? I'm look into the Sumitomo HTR-Z III's for summer use being that I'm not going to be using my wheels in the winter.
Also, after doing the wheels I'd like to lower the vehicle so that the car sits better. Coilovers are out of my price range so the next best thing would be springs. The H&R's are pretty popular so I was just wondering how these cars ride after installing the springs?
What drop are you guys going with on 19's ? Will the stock shocks suffice?
PS: I've done a search and yielded no legitimate results from the query.
THANKS GUYS!

the stock shocks will work fine..................................for a while, they will wear much faster with the H&R's. I had the same setup and my rear shocks were starting to give up the ghost. I eventually just got the KSports from Michael (acuteperformance), the car rides MUCH better now.

That's cool, like I said - it's what I did. Depending on your car's mileage is how long they will last. I put the springs on at about 45k miles, the shocks lasted until 57k, so about 12k more miles on them and they were done
