Default just installed the fat tire setup..... finally!

I changed up from the 245/35/19 275/30/19 to the oversized 245/40/19 275/35/19............... rides much better. I was riding on my stock 16's and remembered the 19's being very rough ride. I've also inreased the PSI to 41-42 per tire.

I would highy recommend these tire heights for 19's with anyone about to buy new tires.

Only a little part of the picture shows up? Try uploading it to your Gallery (no size limit), then link it in the thread.

Your car looks EXCELLENT. A note on one of the pics said you have L-Sportline suspension, is that coilovers? What made you choose that setup over others? Thanks.

Yes, it's L-Sportline, but it's not a coilover set up. It's a spring shock set up from L-sportline. I believe L-Sportline designed it, but it's are made of Eibach springs and Bilstien shocks. I wanted something that rides smooth like stock but was really lower to minimize the gap since i was going with 19's. The gap is only one finger. (about a 1/2 inch.) I have the common issue with my alignment with negative camber.

I may go to coils, i would get the tein flex with EDFC.
