I think you mean either 285/40, 295/40, or 295/45 in the rear, right? You will be a true believer on Saturday

The one thing I can tell you though is that without replacing the shocks it gets a little bouncy over expansion joints due to the firmer spring rates. I would also suggest an adjustable panhard bar to recenter the rear axle after lowering. It isn't imperative to get one but it is suggested.

Sorry for the bad pics due to the sun/
I agree with you about the extra firmness over expansion strips- I really didn't notice it at first, but now that I have been driving it on the freeway, it is a little bothersome. Will new shocks/struts cure this problem? Or is there no really excellent shock set-up for the Steeda Ultralite springs?

Also- which rear panel cover is that on your rear decklid- I really like it!
