So it looks like "meaty tires" in addition to flushness/stance (who knows, possibly also stretch, depending on wheel width) from "looks trends" are prioritized .. i wonder why performance/comfort matters at all for him.
I think he probably just has a tight budget at the moment and is trying to go for a happy medium between function and form. Assuming he no longer has his stock suspension, he may not be able to sell/trade his coilovers without causing him an issue by not having suspension on the car for (x) amount of time. Some people like a nice balance between both performance for tearing up the back roads and looks for hard parking at a local meet. There is nothing wrong with that. And everyone has some sort of a budget so changing his setup just may not be a viable option for him at the moment.
