After getting my new rims I noticed that my car felt more stable on the highway but in a sort of accord way(no offense). By going 18x8 in the rear, and 17x7 in front with the wheels being lighter (not sure about the weights of tires), and the diameter within a few mm of stock. What forces are needing adjustment? I like the stability factor of the new setup, but the suspension seems softer and to be honest not as razor sharp as stock. I thought lower aspect ratios were supposed to give you a harsher ride. Any answers?

P.s.
acceleration has improved (seat of pants)

Highway has really gone down hill


why??

What kind of tires did you get? Tires are a HUGE factor in how your car rides/handles.
