Does anyone have this exact tire setup or close to it? Dave or Maintrain? I just wanted to see how it looks exactly. I plan to either go for a spring/strut setup or if I have money, coilover system. How much can I expect to pay for the spring/strut combo including installation??? I'm not even going to think about doing it by myself. I'm too lazy for DIY projects, i installed springs on my old Integra, along with other painful memories. Installing short shifter and bushings, rear strut bar, etc. . .

I bought KYB Gr-2 struts. Picked up a set of L-sportline springs from classifieds. Here's more info on the struts.

Local Mechanic charged me $300 to install springs, struts, and ball joints.

Default 18" OZ Salinas

My L-tuned GS430 is lowered, and has 18" OZ Salinas staggered (8 - front, 9.5 - rears). I have 265's on front and rears, but need to change front to 235 or 245's. Not rubbing, but too wide.
