did you calculate the front/rear ratio of the particular tires you have in comparaison to stock? And have you noticed any change in behaviour of the car (like tight turns at low speed in parking)?

I’ve read of front diff issues when going too big upfront even though the electronic center diff should mitigate part of it…

I did do the math, and it was similar to the first post in this thread. Very close to stock ratio. I have not noticed and weird behavior at any time when driving the car.

255 35 19 and 325 30 19. Stock suspension. Does it need a drop?

ooohhh!! You went 255 on a 8.5” wheel!! That’s why the meaty look is closer to the back with the 325s on 12”!!! Love it. And the garage setup looks quite on point too 👌🏻!

i would also do a small drop if it were me as it really completes the look (that and a DSC Sport module if you’re still on stock PASM)! But depending on the drop, you might have to play/remote one of the rad support bracket on driver side from what I’ve read (and maybe cut the wheel liner) to prevent rubbing.

and if you’re to play with shorter spring and have to redo alignment, it’d do a rear GT2 sway bar at the same time.. not too expensive and really brings the handling where it should be!

H&R only offers one spring option for the C4/Turbo IIRC
