I installed the springs at the same time as new PP1 struts and shocks. The ride became a little stiffer at low speeds over sharp bumps. However, the ride became more stable and less bouncy at higher speeds. Handling improved noticeably. I'm not sure how much of the change came from the springs vs. the dampers.
Ah okay got it, thanks m8. I should be throwing my springs on soon.

Here’s a set of my CDC Outlaw wheels on my car. The car is stock ride height and I think they do a good job filling out the wheel well. I could likely go bigger so maybe the next time I need tires I’ll go slightly larger.

They are 255/35 in the front and 285/35 in the rear.

What size would you consider?

This is pretty old. I was sharing what was on my car (not OP). Also currently have a completely different set on now.
I know its a bit old. I am looking at wheels and tires and the shop quoted the sizes you had on your car. You said you wanted more tire and would go larger next time. I was wondering what you didn't like about the255/35-275 35 fitments.

I think many of us like a wider setup, of course, with the appropriate sized wheel. The sort of "go to" is a 275 or 285 front, and a 295 or 305 rear, either in a 35 or 30 series (depending on tire availability, ride, performance, how it looks, etc.)

Ah sorry, I didn't understand your question.

I wouldn't say I didn't like it, it wasn't quite as aggressive as I wanted. I am currently running 275 fronts and 325 rear. I definitely feel more tram-lining but I had some on the 255's as well. The 255/275 is pretty close to a stock configuration but I was up at 20's so the ride was a bit harsher.

Those are some big tires.
