will be bouncyish and wont hold aswell

i went for 145/80/13 to 195/45/16 and the road holding was brilliant. Then i stuck -40 apex springs in still on standard shocks and it doesnt hold as good. its still alright but there is deffo a different in handling.

if ya can wait i'd wait and get a shock a spring combo

Harder springs will just make it bounce and loose grip. I have 165 13"s, the road holding is quite good - on three wheels however.
