Default Please comment.....Yokohama AVS ES100 and what srpings????

I am looking to get these tires (Yoko AVS ES100 unless people have a better recomendation) and just want to triple check with people that may have them or know people that have them. What is the best front tire size to go with on stock rims? 225 16 50 or 205 55 16 or 205 50 16 or other ????? I am thinking of dropping the car about 1 inch with springs so wondering peoples thoughts on this. If you have a pic of your car with springs only and stock wheels I would love to see them. Also any recomendations on what springs to get and which to run away from. I hear HKS, Eibach and even a new 1.5 drop tanabe which I do not want to rule out even though it is over 1 inch? help.........

Drop away, man. You have stock rims which have the correct offsets. Stock shocks are pretty quality, but I wouldn't go with too much more than a 1" drop (no Tanabe, no Neuspeed).

Spoon springs (KG/MM Race) and KG/MM sports work great. KG/MM Sport is a bit too conversative for me, but given that you're on stock rims, it'll be noticeable. Too much of a drop on stock rims with the balloonish tires cheapens the look of the car.

Good luck!
