New wheels!
Thanks guys. Wheels are BBS CH-R, 19x8.5 and 19x12, full specs are on the tirerack just pick C4 as the model. Don't remember the offsets right now, think it was was +57 and +.44.
The drop hasn't changed much, I used the oem center caps but will go back to BBS ones this year

When I got the wheels two years ago I was running Michelin PS2, stock size 305/30 rears. I guess because the rim protector the looked stretched since the wheels are 12 inch wide. And yes as you suggest I considered going wider front and rear, but thought that is overkill for a standard C4! I think even the 305s are a bit of overkill for the 3.6 cars. Don't want to add more unsprung weight that I had to.
When I had to replace the tires I went with PZeros N2s that don't have the rim protection and seem to run a bit wider and match the 12" wheels pretty nicely. I know these are not the popular choice but they worked fine so far. Pic from last year:

Looks fantastic with great fitment. How do you like the ride of the new springs? Does the progressive rate handle the subtle bumps like OEM and is it truly stiffer when pushed hard with reduced roll?
I don't have PASM, the ride was pretty close to stock which is on the firm side. Handling is also about the same, maybe a bit flatter thru the turns but I've had them so long now I can't say for sure! Overall ride stays close to OEM but lowered ride height which was my goal. The non-PASM cars ride so high to me, this was an easy choice!
