Would you mind give me some advises on my setting. I just order goodyear eagle 225/40r18 front and 245/40r18 rear with a set of 18X8.5 and 18X9.5 rims. Will this be a proper setting for street driving and some corner-fun?

I am also thinking to drop it a little bit. will these TANABE GF210 spring perform good with my new wheels? If not, any lowing spring that you recommend?

0.6" Front Drop
0.9" Rear Drop
Front Spring Rate - 2.7 kg/mm
Rear Spring Rate - 4.5 kg/mm

I just do not want to go coilovers because they are too hard for street driving.

Thank you so much !!

I can elaborate on definition of soft as "compliant, well damped, and allowing enough stroke at low loads" OF course that can be had in different combinations of factors but generally, the suspension on this car needs to MOVE.

Stock Tires + Stock Tires = pretty darn good.

Low+ Stiff+ Stock tire = bad, hard to rotate, easy to understeer (plow)

Soft + mid-height -20~30mm (or plenty of stroke built into coilver) + medium grip street tire = FUN, Fairly quick, easy to handle, and close to original setup.

Low+Stiff+Race tires = proper race car setup, but requires a lot of driving skills to make it go fast.
