I'm running Espiler ASD w/Tokico Blues. My tire wear was disgusting the first time around, got about 7k out of a set of 20" Nitto 555's. I installed a Daizen camber kit, cut/rolled the fenders, and got a proper allignment. I got just a hair over 20k on the same tires this time around and they wore pretty nicely. I'm going to take out a little camber out of the rear on this next set of tires and see if I can squeeze a little more out of them as the rear still wore on the insides a bit. The ride is a little rough, but part of that is due to running 30 series tires as well. It is very controlled and it handles very confidently, especially at high speeds.

I drive with them daily, and I think it rides pretty decent for the drop they provide. I do have to drive it like a lowrider in certain situations though, probably makes me look like an Ahole. The biggest difference I've had is switching to a little bit larger tire in the front, less stretch on the sidewall and a little more meat really makes it ride much better.

I'm on Espelir springs and stock struts. But with 125k now, the stock struts need to be replaced soon. The overall drop looks great, but I admit the ride is harsh sometimes for a luxury coupe even when my stock wheels are on with 225/55 tires. This is how mine looks with 19" wheels. I'm deciding to go wider on tire sizes though. Currently I'm running 235/35 (R) and 215/35 (F). I'm bumping both sizes up as I'm starting to really dislike the stretch fad and want more contact. Plus these tires leak air all of the time and my wheels have been in storage for months. Do not by Falken 452's lol, nothing but a nightmare since the purchase and I've gone through several sets due to bubbles and a complete blowout failure once.

I wouldn't know if they are "sick" or not. The only time I see them is in old pictures. Seriously, do not buy falken 452's. I spent a ton of money on tires. Probably six tires in total last spring, just shelling out hundreds of dollars and wasting my time bringing them by tire shops for mounting, not to mention being on the side of the road or driveway constantly putting on the spare or stock 16"s. My rims have been in storage for almost the same amount of time as I've owned the car. At some point I'm going to dismount all of the tires and attempt to sell I guess. I'm hearing good things about the Hankook Ventus V12's and that's what I'm leaning too. This time around I'm going to run 235/35's on the front and 255/35's on the rear. Our area gets totally bashed with pot holes during the winter and these wouldn't last 5 miles down the road. Stretched tires look great and assist with fitment, but it's not practical for daily driving on crappy roads. Just my 0.02 of course and someone will bash my statement lol
