Here's a big clue

Tires:
Falken FK452 235/35/19 front and 255/40/19 rear

Suspension:
H&R Sport Springs and stock shocks

Conclusion:
Ride is much more "airy" than stock. With stock I felt the road more, which I liked. This airy feeling I'm not used to, kinda like driving a Toyota Camry, but probably because of my 19". The ride height didn't change much, even though it's lowered on the H&R springs again due to the 19". Most importantly though this setup rubs in the front do the the ULTRA flushness, I will have to roll the fenders for sure, if I went 225 up front, then I would be fine. Also in the rear I might have to do some work since on big bumps my wheels will hit the liner.

Otherwise I am happy with this setup and will get my fenders rolled in the front for more clearance up front, I would bet that after the roll I will be rub free. I wanted 235s up front cause I did not want the tire to look stretched. and was going for a JDM look.

Hope this helps everyone!

Cool wheels. How much do they weigh?

And about rolling the front fenders... not sure you can really do that since they're plastic.

alright guys no more playing games please excuse the dirtiness...









Oh... the things I do for you guys. woke up extra early to snap these before work.

Special THANKS to the VMR guys especially Peter and Charles, they gave me a lot of wheel/tire fitment advice (although I didn't listen to them ). Yes, yes a 225 would have been a perfect fit up front. Another shout out to Long Tran AKA LTBMW for dealing with me and finding me the tire sizes I wanted even though he advised me not to like the VMR guys he also got me a great deal on springs and did all the install. I don't feel like I got ripped off. I also want to thank Long for being so close to my work I dropped off my car and walked across the street to go to work hahahaah. All in all I'm happy.

Thanks to these socal locals

This is about as flush as you can get maybe a little more drop in the back with 265s but I think this is almost pushing the limits on this car with minor rolling needed. Otherwise, cutting is needed.

If only the rear was .5-1" lower, that would be perfect I think. Problem is coils would be very hard to clear up front with 19x8.5 maybe 19x8

Now that looks mighty fine John!

Are you only rubbing on the front? Careful 225 tyre choice may help as I have 18x8.5" ET43 with 225 Michelin PS2's and no rubbing on front.

I thought the rear 9.5" ET45 would give you more problems with rubbing, especially with a full load?

Thanks man! With only myself in the car which is like 95% of the time I am rubbing on the fronts, I may be rubbbing in the back on bumps which I think I am hearing. The front I will rub no matter what, the rear i might be hitting the top of the liner or the inside, I have yet to figure out. I'm giving my springs a week to settle before I do my fender work.
