The suspension does settle a bit. Mine feels like the rear end is between 1/4" - 1/2" lower now.

I have 18's and my sidewalls are bigger obviously. Even then, I would hardly call the ride close to stock. It's a pretty significant difference.

I have the KYB struts though but same springs. My 18's by 8.5" wide. 245/45 r18

I do think the Tanabe's are the best for comfort and drop. Well have to get together sometime. I'm also now back in GA.

how willl changing the tire size get you lower...? What you need are coilovers. If you're really obsessed with comfort buy Tein CS, pretty low and near oem ride.

Did your 99' come stock with HID's or did you go with a kit? My 98' has hallogens they're not bad but they don't look as good as the HIDs.
