I'm running 225 tires up front but its how I bought the car so I'm afraid I am of no help. Sorry! By the way, which coilovers are you running?
@Racer Boy - Thanks for the kind offer but I think the difference coming from a 3.2L S sway bar to the "S" M030 would be marginal. Hopefully someone else will pick it up from you.

My car came on stock Conti 205 fronts and lemme tell ya, factory understeer is a very real thing. I get why they did it (oversteer more dangerous in inexperienced hands) but damn.
I installed my coilovers (godspeed) last fall and spent a few months dialing them in before I tore her apart this winter. Really quite harsh at higher settings, but I found a nice balance of comfort and performance around 30/50%. This is my only experience in the world of aftermarket racing suspensions but I really like them.
I bought the energy bushings on a whim after reading a post on another forum about how they are high quality, universal fit, and I had decided a while ago that everything rubber on my suspension needed to go. I finally got around to installing the bushings (front and rear) and I really do feel like they made a difference. No but dyno stuff, just felt more firm going into hard corners. I made the mistake of not greasing them before install so it squeaked like a ******************** going over speed bumps lol. Once I got that rectified though I have no complaints.
