I have Espelir ASD on stock shocks. I love them for how I use the car, but I do not drive my car but 3,000 miles a year. They drop the car just over an inch and give the car the look it should have had leaving the factory. They ride slightly firmer than stock, but not rough, and I really have been happy with how close to stock ride quality is.

I also have a more-aggressive than stock alignment, AP2v1 wheels, and 225F/255R Dunlop Star Specs to help counter the minor loss in suspension performance that results from mating a spring and shock together that weren't necessarily engineered to work as one.

On AP2 wheels, but old tires. The new tires really make the stance better.

Tons upon tons of threads exist for suspension on the car. Check out the Suspension and Modification and Parts sections for some of the picture/information threads. I assure you the information already exists.

Nope. Not even with the bigger tire sizes. Pondering going to a 265 next time in the rears. No rubbing. Love my setup.
