Sounds right. I had 195/50/15 Yokohama on TSW Hockenheim rims on my original gts and it handled well like that. So this can only be an improvement!

I had 17z on it .I loved how the car looked but really hated the ride . Each to their own I suppose . Do you still have the 15 inch rim ?

Hi.

No I wish. Sold that long ago. Would have to invest in new ones as the car is on stock 14" rims at present. Quite keen on the 4/100 golf 5 gti look alike mag.

This may seem like a stupid question but does one need to redo wheel alignment when replacing springs ( not shocks).

I am tempted to remove the 30mm Eibach springs in the back and refit the standard ones to correct the stance of my car.

The rear wheel alignment is not (easily) adjustable and does not change
