I just installed new KYB struts and shocks ,along with Falken Azenis PT722 tires. The tires are 225/50/17 on the 2LT aluminum wheels. Finally, a controlled and quiet ride. After the original Firestones followed by Sumitomo's, I needed the quiet ride. The KYB's are firm but not harsh. The Falkens grip very well and have a 60k mile tread life warranty as opposed to 40k for the 215/50/17. Got to test them in heavy rain the past couple of days and no problems.
I think I'm going to enjoy driving again!

 

Good for you. I installed the KYB's as well and they do ride nice.

 

Just an update. After 1500 miles of breaking in the suspension and tires, I noticed some differences. 1. The KYB's are much softer than than the sport FE3 suspension. 2. Sway has increased, as well as oscillating over expansion joints at highway speeds. In review, the ride is softer and quieter, but the handling has suffered.
So my next issue will be sway bar bushings and end links. Followed by a TTR rear sway bar. Possibly cobalt SS rear springs to level and get the back in out of the air stream.
