Purchased 19 inch peelers off and s5 with newer tires. 235/40/19. Need to drive down and pick them up. Can anyone recommend a good suspension setup for this? I was thinking spring strut combo rather than coil overs. I will have a winter setup (OEM 18’s with 245/40 blizzak) and have heard coil overs in winter aren’t the best with the salt. Also was trying to stay around 500-600 bucks.
Thanks for all insights.
EDITED , the tires are 235/40, NOT 235/45

Bump for a quick answer. Or I’ll go digging.

That's a pretty wacky tire size for our cars. Stock 19's come with 255/35/19, so you are putting on tires that are .7" skinnier and .7" taller than stock.
With that being said, I wouldn't focus on setting up your suspension around that tire size. You'll also be throwing off your speedometer by 4 mph at 80mph.

Thanks for the advice. They came with the wheels so I was hoping to still run them. 19x9 +33

Bilstein B12 cup kit is $700
Heard nothing but good things about it.

I had my tire size wrong. They are 235/40/19. Not the 235/45. I’m thinking HR springs, need to look into strut options.

Bought the solowerk s1 coilovers for 500$ after waiting ages for the B12 kit and cannot complain. They ride like OEM+. No noises or issues. I’m in New England and will see how they hold up after the winter. I sprayed the crap out of them with boeshield.
