From the reviews I have read the Tanabe's are slightly softer the then H&R. I also put new KYB's on with them. Going to a 45 sidewall does make a noticeable difference with comfort. I run 245/45/18 all the way around and I really like them.
they are MUCH softer, and I would even say as soft as stock.

it all depends on the wheel size, offset of the wheels, and amount if drop (if lowered). if your car is stock running stock wheels at stock height i would just run the OEM recommended tire sizing. you can go 20mm wider but may need to compensate with a smaller sidewall.
I've had 20s 19s and now im on 18s and man I love it. I dont think ill be on 19s for awhile.. Plus 18s have a better feel other then bigger size wheels. Brake sooner, punching it doesn't lag, etc.
What kind of rims are these?I have the same color and I would love my car to look like that!Specs on that setup?
F: 18x9+22 with 225/40
R: 18x10+27 with 235/40
These shots are from the day of installation. I have since gone just shy of half an inch lower and I love the compromise between how it looks, yet it still rides quite nice. I rolled the fender lips just a little bit to be safe, but probably could have gone without doing so. No doubt the 19's look killer, and these wheels are offered in 19's.. But i've got a 240sx that these wheels work perfectly on as well; its nice to have wheels that will work on more than just one of your cars. With the versatility of 18's and the cheaper cost of tires, I don't think Ill be going to 19's.
photos are huge.. sorry / you're welcome
They can look nice on 18s but 19s do look better. This is on 18s and still looked good. Got to be low if you wanna run on 18s though.
I hope this reply isn't too old to get a response. I'm curious to know your setup as I just ordered wheels and tires for my 93 and I'm hoping it mimics your look. After I lower it of course
What rims, tire size, and suspension set up is on your friends ls400?

Here's a picture of my car with 18s from last summer
