Here's some research I did that may help if you're interested in spring rates.

I think that's too much tire for 18's. I run 17" ASA FR1's with Front--17x8 +58 w/ Bridgestone Potenza S03 225/45-17 and Rear--17x9 +62 w/ Bridgestone Potenza S03 255/40-17 on s-tech's and they fit perfectly. I think the 40's in the rear for 18's would rub and also throw off your speedo. I believe you should run 35's in the rear, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
my mistake. I meant to say 35 for the rear just like my earlier post.

I have these Stech springs....they're on the soft side(compare to kg/mm race), just a little stiffer than the stock springs. I'm running Work S1 18x8 +56 front with 225/40-18 and 18x9.5 +62 with 255/35-18 Yoko ES100 and i have no rubbing issue. Be sure to get an alignment cause your camber and toe will be out of spec.
great! i wanted them like stock or a bit stiffer.
good sutff guys
