Reinforced or not?
Reading some reviews about the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, and prob will end up getting them from tirerack.com. The runner ups were BFgoodrich g-Sport, Kumho Ecsta SPT and Bridgestone Potenza RE750. I was reading a review on Tirerack about the Goodyears having a sidewall flex going through corners. Are the goodyears Reinforced or not?
I'm running a pretty decent stiff suspension for the streets. Konis with Eibrach Pros with a big sway bar out back. Tire size 205/50/16.

Re: Reinforced or not? (E-Money)
Those are four very different summer tires.
The Goodyear F1 GS-D3 has the best performance of all of these (by far). Best dry traction, best wet traction, best cornering, etc. It's the one that won the test of top-of-the-line tires in Car and Driver.
The Kumho SPT and Bridgestone Potenza RE750 are both very good "budget performance tires", offering good performance (not as good as the F1 GS-D3, but good) at a low price. The RE750 is slightly better than the SPT but the SPT is a lot less expensive.
The BFG g-Force Sport is not as good as the SPT or RE750 and I don't recommend it.
If you're looking for the best performance, wet and dry, with good treadlife, then get the F1 GS-D3. If you're willing to sacrifice some performance for a lower purchase price, then get the Kumho SPT.
Another option you didn't mention, if you want great performance (including cornering) on dry pavement and you don't care about how long they last or how well they do on wet pavement, is the Falken Azenis RT-615. Supersticky on dry pavement, but fast wearing and not as good as the above tires in rain.

Yea it was def sticking in the back of my mind but its not practical for a daily driver. If I build up my CRX this summer, strictly a spring/summer car, the CRX is getting the RT-615
