I went with a 215/35/18 and rides great. Eibach sportlines with camber kits
front and back (I didn't want any problems although people say you don't need
them). Check it out in members rides.

anything after 1.5" Most need a slight rear camber adjustment.. the fronts pretty much stay in spec but go the further end of of the neg camber allowance

Edit: Neuspeed sports or H&R SPorts would offer a nice drop and a good ride [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
