Good point. 235/40/18. I think my next tire size will be 245/40/18 to fill the gap. What size tires are you guys running?

I have the KONIS also. I just installed them this past saturday. So far I am not through finding the setting I like yet. My only complaint is that they seem a little squeaky when going over speed bumps. Do you guys notice anything similar in your setups? OR is this a normal part of the break in process? I am runing the KONIS with Eibach 1" springs.

the squeaking should go away after a while

I was talking about the TL specifically. You can custom make a jumper harness for the FIC you are using. My buddy does it all the time. Runs Evo VII AEM on his turbo GS and a Honda FIC soon to be on his other GS when it gets turbo'd.
