Arrow Anybody running LC818 wheels that are NOT on coil overs?

Hey everyone, just trying to see if and how many people are running the LC818's with either a stock suspension or with regular lowering spring/shock combo.

Trying to figure out which combo to go with, or if it'll be okay to get the wheels before the suspension, but I guess I have to see what it looks like before I pull the trigger. If I can get a nice ride and setup with H&R/Eibach springs and some shocks, that may be a better more comfortable setup then going with coils?

On a side note, all I care about is comfort and the car to ride well and look good. I don't care much about handling or corners (I have my Z06 for that).

Thanks!

Spring/Shock combo may never be as comfortable as a coilover set up. You get the luxury of actually adjusing the dampening setting to where you feel is comfortable, for you.

Damn, I guess you're right. Unless I get custom dampened bilsteins like the DRM's on my Z06, but with the IS250's I wouldn't even know where to start!

Okay so I guess I have to just find out what the most comfortable coil over setup is then. I would still love to see pics of anyone running LC818's on a non-slammed car.
