I was mistaken on the tires, they are actually Pilot Sport A/S, the tread pattern doesn't look very A/S though.
As Justin is doing now, I've spent a lot of time going through pics and stories on the interwebs to decide what springs to go with and settled on Dinan. I don't want to hate the ride, put the shocks under additional stress, or take away from being able to load it up and still ride OK. Dinan and ACS are very similar and I chose Dinan since I will also go with their shortened bump stops and at some point their adaptive shock software and wanted a cohesive system. Plus Dinan points, yay!
I also wanted to address the stock wheel inset which gets more noticeable when lowered so I picked up some Macht Schnell spacers and extended bolts off the forums. They are 12 and 15mm, for Front / Rear.
Before inset pic of rear:

Springs will be here next week, maybe I'll throw the spacers on in the meantime since it will still be a couple weeks before I get the springs on.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
