I need your opinion on springs. With my setup and keep in mind that streets are bad here in Kuwait...what would be better, going with Tein H. Tech springs or Tein S. Tech springs??
I like the small lowering on the H.Techs but would it rub?? would it look good?? or should I go with the S.Tech?? and would it rub with that??

If so then I think I would go with the S-techs cause the drop on the H-techs is (-0.28" Front) and (-0.16" Rear) and I don't see it making much of a difference!!
The Hotchicks are nice but a higher drop and I trust the streets in Kuwait to go that low!!

Need advice
Ok guy now I need your help.
After installing the new wheels and tires about 6 months ago I have been having some problems with the tires as I'm getting no grip on the road.
About a month ago I installed the S-Tech springs, Hotchkis sway bars and tokico shocks (blue color) and still having the same problem with traction.
Now I know that when going plus 1 size that I need to adjust the tires pressure and I can't seem to get it right.
I tried 35 front and 36 rear, and 36 front and 38 rear but still nothing.
For you who have the same setup, what tire pressure you got and may I remind you of my package:
Front:
19x9.5 with Michelin PS2 255/35R19
Rear:
19x10.5 with Michelin PS2 285/35R19
I'll be thankful for any help I get

whats your camber? you wont have any contact patch if you dont fix the camber on a wide tire, makes it even worse when you have a low offset wide wheel.
Trust me with my 2" drop and no camber correction I can smoke my 275 toyos 1st through 2nd, camber kit and it barely chirps 3rd and spins a lil in 2nd

You should be getting plenty of traction. Those are good tires, and good widths too. Since you're in a dryer climate, and rain isn't much of an issue, maybe you should try stickier tires. Something like a Toyo R888 or Bridgestone RE-01R, which is much stickier, but still good enough for street use. Maybe go with 265/30/19 & 295/30/19

Someone told me (didn't convince me though) that new tires have kind of coating when they are new to preserve them while in storage and asked me to do some burnouts off the line to remove that layer!! any input?
