O I had it wrong this entire time I'm running 255 40 19 rears
And bought 2 used pilot sport 235 35 19
So I should of gotten 235 40 19?
For the VDC to stay happy the rolling diameter of your tires, wheel size and width has no impact here, must stay under a 3% difference. Using the tire calculator that's at the top of the Tires/Wheels sub-forum the difference between the 235/35 F and 255/40 R is 1.56" or 5.75%. Install those and your VDC will flip out on you setting off the slip/ABS and SES lights immediately. Also I believe the car might go into limp mode with that big of a difference but can't confirm that. Keeping your 255/40 in the rear if you went up to a 235/40 in the front the difference would only be .63" or 2.33%. All should be well in the universe then.

Yep it does, the bushings are in the process of failing, better to replace them now rather than wait.
That doesn't seem right. I'd try searching elsewhere or not on the mobile device. A quick search on carid does not show a difference on sides.
At any rate, I installed some yellow LED fog lights tonight. One more step to converting everything to LED. My headlights, front turn signals, and front parking lights are the only non LED lights on the car at this point....and maybe the glove box
Those LOOK good, but I can't agree they are a functional improvement. If you are THAT GUY driving around with your fog lights on all night please stop, they are designed on the G to blind everyone as they are effectively flood lights. During the day that'll look nicely contrasted!
I prefer to just paint the bowls with translucent canary yellow paint for stained glass. Gives that JDM look and lasts forever. I love the look.
2nd point. NO LED MAIN BEAM. Drop in LED bulbs work okay for turn signals and back up bulbs but not for main beams. It will either be too wide or too focused (pencil beam) and it will
Have dark spots. Can't get around this design flaw. If you want to go fully LED get the LED units like the Morimoto one, or the iJDMtoy ones. See my last picture for the yellow painted Fog option.

If he's going full Poly suspension anyways, it's probably time to upgrade to adjustable arms for only a few dollars more? Kinetix upper adjustable arms with energy bushings included are about $350 or so, and now camber will be adjustable.

I installed a dash cam finally. Been waiting for one for years at the right price point... $31 was my price point (Yi cam, powers on when powered up, loop records, no frills).
Had to pull a lot of panels apart to hide the wires but got it done. Cable was a great deal long enough to run down the passenger A pillar, next to the AC blower, behind the stereo, under the center console, and to the 12V plug in the center console.
