Should be more conservative by 2mm in the rear than my last setup. I'm sure it'll be exactly what I need .
Good call, great minds think alike.

Yeah exactly, Toronto roads are not all that great... to say the least.
I would highly suggest springs, as they put a lot of pressure on your shocks.
I bought a set of RSR Coils, so that's helpful for our winters.
But yeah... the dollar is crap,
That setup will work no problem. Lots of clearance underneath depending on how those springs settled.

Ya I hear you.

Use to run a ridiculous set up on my old IS300 but still took on the Toronto streets.
18x9.5 +22 w 205/40
18x10.5+ 26 w 245/35

lol.

Now what tires should I slap onto these T7Rs. Thinking about the new Conti DWS tire.

Up to you ultimately,
Last season I ran Toyo Proxes and they were soft as butter.
This season I'm going to run Michillen PSS

Ha, I've said goodbye to my Toyos and a fresh set of PSS is waiting for the spring in my garage. Looks like a rubber from 24 LeMans compared to Proxes T1 Sports )

my specs are

19x10 +40 245/35/19
do you think a 245/40 tire would fit up front? On stock suspension or maybe F-Sport springs.
Thanks!
