Wheels & Tires:

- Rear Tires : Sunny 305/45/22

Considered upgrades:
- Eventually would like some lowering keys in the front, and remove a couple dead coils in the rear to lower it another inch or so.

Brief impressions of setup:
The front rides very smooth and controlled with the Bilstein shocks. Would like the shocks to be a bit more firm for the front but overall ride is excellent.

The rear ride is much improved since installing the Bilstein shocks in the rear. Very controlled, firm but not too harsh at all.
