Bastard. 
We have had floods here the past week (12-14 inches of rain on Tue) so I haven't had a chance to satisfy the Driver sedan masses with my trivial pleasures. I'll make sure I placate everyone this afternoon with some

Blah, blah, blah so impatient.
Quick shots from this afternoon. Might go to a 15 mm spacer and 225/40 up front when the current tires wear out and throw a 245/40 on the rear for a mild stretch and drop it down lower. Right now I'm on 245/40 F and 255/40 R with no rubbing anywhere. Coils are almost maxed out on the drop up front and only have 1/2" left in the rear. Definitely not the right choice for those who want to be super slammed but they work for me, the ride is really smooth with no rubbing anywhere. Tanabe does sell shorter springs designed for these coils so in the future if I decide I want to slam her it's possible, but I drive too much now for that to happen.

I'm set on 4 clicks from soft (12 way adjustable) and no rubbing. And the ride is so smoooooooth.
Remember I'm an old school muscle car guy so I like the rears big. When I wear these out I'll probably go 245/40 rear but I'm not willing to go 245/35 R or 235/35 F as I drive too much and the shorter sidewall doesn't work for me from a ride perspective.

I'm sure I'll find a way to get them a little lower.
