Tks everyone, the wheels are OZ Ultraleggera HLT 20x8.5 and 20x10 on Pzero Nero 235/30/20 and 275/30/20. I would recommend going with 245/30/20 for anyone looking into upgrading to 20s. The 235/30/20 is way too thin for the 8.5 rims IMO, should of when wider.
Has anyone run 255 width tires for the front?
Shannon - not twitchy at all, the turn in feels quicker, due to lower profile tires, I feel more of the road surface. With the stiffer springs and wider rear tires, the cornering limit improve quite a bit, way less bodyroll, well the car didn't have that much body roll to begin with
.
As for the ride with the lowering springs, I was surpised by how comfortable it is. It didn't change much from stock at all, well on normal smooth pavement. On rough/uneven pavement, it gets more bumpy ride. Less bodyroll under hard cornering. comparing to stock springs and stock 18s, I would say the ride got around 20-35% stiffer, and on uneven roads, you'll notice the difference right away from stock.
the 20inch tire package for the front, it actually weight 2 pounds less then stock and the rear it weight 2 pounds more then stock.

i was not thinking of changing springs ...is it necessary.
you see in south africa we have a 5 year motoplan which covers everything from brake pads to major warantee items and all servicing that excludes only tyres. SO i dont want to void this and springs would be ammo for them not replacing suspension components(i think)
