Very nice. I'm contemplating on a very similar setup on my firestorm. What size tires are those? 235?

The springs are okay, haven't had any issues with them yet. Ill be getting coils eventually. I've done drift events and track days and they performed great.

Didn't really have that in the back of my mind when I made the tire choice, more cause its the stock height. Didnt want a more bumpy ride also.

235/45 isn't the stock height. It's a .7" taller tire than the stock 215/45. 245/40 is actually the closest to stock height, with 235/40 not too far behind.

Just FYI

Looks great I have some coming eventually. I would have gone with a 245/40 tire myself.

Word thanks. Yeah I never did hard research on it, just liked the size . I did notice it sits slightly higher though once installed, which I was glad since its real low to begin with.
