A lower profile tire couple with suspension mods is always going to give you a stiffer ride, especially if you go with stiffer spring rates.

What will you be using for suspension parts?
Are you going with adjustable struts?

Like the above post, your ride will be harsher than stock.

Looking at your screen name I am assuming that you have an X. If this is true then mostly you will be using Z springs, there are no aftermaket struts for the front unless you do custom, the rear you could change without any problems, there is also no sway bars for the X the rear might work but the front will not because of the transfer case. Any type of aftermarket wheels and tires will affect the ride quailty but honestly I don't feel too much of a difference in quailty with my 20's.

^^^+1. You should also consider same size all around as the staggered set up is not recommended for the AWD.

+2 you want to keep the same size wheels/tires on the "X".

I can tell you from experience that the Zenetti's will fit but you will have to roll your rear fenders. I had the Five's in the same size. My first combo was 1.3/1.2 H&R springs, stock sport struts, stillen sway bars and those wheels. The ride will be harder but not too bad. If you get springs that are progressive you won't feel the small bumps as much.

Just remember that springs that are made for the RWD sedan will drop the X approx. 1/2 inch more. So for instance, the Z springs drop the regulare sedan 1 inch and approx. drop the X 1.5 inches.

I had the z-springs which dropped me 1.5 inches last summer on 245/40/19 tires. I had a lot of negative camber and I also had rubbing when I had 5 people in the car.

If I decide not to do the VRT coilovers I am either going to go z springs in front and coupe springs in rear or coupe springs all around.
