Thanks for the info. That's great to know. I'm always concerned about the new wheels/tires affecting the comfort (for my passengers). Did you get the FK453? Thanks.

I got this from Wheel Roc, local store here in Miami. If you need more info contact Rocky at (305) 219-9938. He really knows about this stuff. This the first time I make this type of upgrade so I followed his suggestions and he was right on the money. Nice setup, no tire noise/road noise. Couldn't be happier!
Ordered Tanabe springs today. It should drop 1.1" front and 1.2" rear. Will post more pics after installation. Thank you all for your feedback!

Default Updated pics with Tanabe Springs

Drop was 1.1" Front and 1.2" Rear. Comfortable ride, better handling and no rub!
Couldn't be happier!

That is the absolute perfect stance IMO! Great job!

I do have a question though, how does lowering the GS affect the S+ mode? I imagine that the adjustable shocks still work with shorter springs right?

he installed springs which does not affect the AVS... had he installed coil overs then he would have deleted the AVS.
