Since you can't rotate front to rear if they are different sizes, and your tires may be directional, there is still an option. For not that much money, you can have a tire shop flip the tires on the rear wheels and you will get twice the life out of the tires.

Yep, I thought of that, but it can't be done with my tyres, they are unidirectional with an 'inside' and an 'outside'. Bridgestone Potenza S04 Pole Position.

How do you like the Bridgestones? Ride, noise, handling, wear?

I give them 8/10 or 9/10 for all of those things.
Very quiet for a 20" 30 or 35 profile tyre, they don't ride at all hard, they grip and handle really nicely wet or dry, and so far they are wearing well.
I bought them after cross shopping Michelin Pilot Super Sport (PSS) in the same sizes, and after reading up on as many reviews & tests as I could. Everywhere I looked rated them as nearly as good as the PSS, say 95% as good, but their cost was only 65% of the PSS (I got them from Tire Rack).

But how's the ride quality/performance of lowering springs and also bags?
Ill give you a drift video by Jan after I install my 2 way LSD!

I can't wait to see the drift video. That is my second favorite past times. It is a great stress reliever but a little hard on the tires.

I don't like LOW Jags and it looks really juvenile to me. I suspect with this modification you will have a hard time selling the car as well, but, it's your car and your call. Just my opinion........since you asked.
