Default Choice of spring has less to do with tire size than what you want to accomplish

Hard ride but slot-car response your goal?

or a streetable ride?

or ???????

I dont see hwo anyone can give you an intelligent answer without more info.

Overall, you need to look at the spring rate of the stock springs vs replacements, and whether they are progressive or linear, and then YOU trade off between ride and "handling". Note that flat cornering does not always promete the best handling, although people think so.

Default I was very happy with the Eibach too, but...

If you are still on your original shocks with over 60k miles then they need to be replaced anyway. In that case, you may as well go with H&amp;R coilovers. I ended up swapping the H&amp;Rs for the Eibachs after a year and paying for installation twice, when I should have just done the H&amp;Rs to begin with.
