I'm still figuring out suspension setup, but I'm quite happy with stock front/ non-S M030 rear sway bars with Bilstein B8's/ H&R red sport springs for my spirited street driving, my tail never came around me (okay except once on very wet road when I was pushing it stupidly on worn rear tires... replaced them on the next day!)

I still have stock size 205/255 tires on 17-in wheels, and planning to go 225 fronts when they wear out and then maybe step up to beefier from sway bar, standard S or S-spec M030. I'm a less is more guy, going for a simple, light weight car that can be daily driven, and will definitely keep 17-in wheels for their weight as well as cushion to tolerate sub-par Michigan road. Wondering if I can squeeze more fun out of my 2.5 around street corners quicker with more 'rotation' with this bigger tire/ sway bar change up front.
