Measure the distance from fender to top of tire then lower it that much remember is you buy new it's gonna settle so adjust it before you get your alignment after about 600 miles or so. I have 17" and it looks perfectly fine my rears are about halfway covering my tire and front is just on the edge of the tire I can send you pics If you want

I'm gonna echo the sentiments on the Koni FSD's for comfort, I'm really happy with them paired with my BMW PS Springs. The car looks stock, is more comfortable than stock, but has performance when needed. Very happy.

I upgraded from KWv1 to KWv2's and would definitely recommend the V2's. Everyone's comment of too stiff or too harsh is relative to their own taste. If you want to do it right the first time just get the KWv2's and set the rebound to how you want it.
For me: Track setting = 3 from stiffest on all corners DD = 7 from stiffest in the front and 10 from stiffest in the rear out of 15 clicks. It is softer than the sport suspension yet feels planted with reduced body roll. And yes you should get an alignment because if you drop the control arms during the install your steering most likely will not be center.

How do you define "comfortable?"
If you mean softer, I'd say you may want to buy a different car.

I feel that both ride and handling are both improved. The suspension is firm but not harsh. CA

Coming from a super bone stock car (don’t even hv sunroof & heated seats), is an excellent choice. Before it was way too soft and bouncy. After pairing it with Eibach and tweaking the Koni dampen is such a good street combo.
