suspension choices?

[maardak@yahoo.ca (Mardak)]

My friend has 16" wheels (w/ 205/40/16 tires) on his 85 8V, lowered with Eibach
Sportlines w/ Tokico HP's...  While I think it's a bit harsh for me, it is definately
still streetable.  Rubbing is very rare too...  He's been driving with this setup for
over a year, and no problems as of yet (and the roads around here are far from perfect). 
I think the harshness also has more to do with the Tokico's than with the low profile
tires...
