^^ I'm running 165/60r13 GT Radials. So far they seem to be pretty good. With the new set up they seem to grip quite well too.

I'm running 175-60's right now but I think my next set will be 175-70's... they're a little easier to come by.Ian

I agree, with 13" wheels lowering is definitely a better look. And a larger tire size is in order too.
Love the re-badging and its the same color as mine! 'Cept yours is a whole lot nicer! Great car!1963 Ford F-100

Ok. First off a shout out to Mike and Aaron's build threads as well as skeeters coil over write up.
I have been running the "generic eBay coil over sleeve" set up from some time, more or less putting up with it. It was rough. The dog was scared to ride along and the wife was not impressed. Well enough was enough and I ordered some springs from daymotorsports.com? The same ones Aaron used in his build. I went with 175 lb in the front and 150 in the rear. 8 inch in length. Matched with 1988 323 KYB struts in the front and Aspire KYBs in the rear.
The difference is night and day. Body roll is still controlled but the bumps are absorbed.
Here is a cell phone pic. I will get some better shots when it stops raining.
