I'd go with bigger tires, personally, 205/40 isn't enough sidewall for me. But I also live in Ohio, where the roads get destroyed every winter, only to be torn up by the city every spring, so there's a lot of rough roads around me. Other than that, sounds good to me..

another important question is what kind of tires are you going to buy? do not cheap out on the tires, as they are the absolute most integral part of the suspension...afterall, they are the only part of a car that makes contact with the road...tirerack has a lot of hands on reviews on almost all their tires, so you may want to do some research on their site...the springs and shocks should work well together, though...however, you may want to upgrade your rear sway bar when you get a little extra cash...it can make all the difference...
