Good choice! :thumbup: I was planning on getting the same tires for my 16's. BTW, I noticed on your sig that you have the Tein SS coilovers. How do they perform and how much did you get them for, if you don't mind me asking.
I unfortunately don't have them on my car yet....waiting for brake conversion first....gonna do it all at the same time. They cost me just over $900. Basically it will be the same as koni shocks plus eibach pro springs, but they are ride height and damper adjustable. I'll let you know how they perform. It will be probably amazing to me because I am doing all the lower bars (front, rear anti-sway and strut brace).

Sweet. Also, on the Tein's, are there helper springs included, or is it just the main springs that were included in the kit?

Whatever you do only buy the drag radials from Nitto - nothing else. I have the Kumhos - used them last year for autocross (with great results) and use them this year for daily driving. If you want a grippy tire get: Falken Azenis, BFG g-force TA KDs, Bridgestone S03s.

Ok. I just wanted to make sure what was included because Tein's site wasn't very clear on what was included on their coilover sets. Thanks.

Default thank you everyone for the help!!!!

So what do the helper springs do (besides help). I am not clear on the function or what it even looks like.

My generic snow tires had more grip than my 450's (came on the rims, I didn't have them by choice) they were horrible.
