Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP

Hi there,
I'm buying 4 new Firestone Firehawk SZ50 Ep's (P275/40ZR-17) for my 97 WS6. At the same time I'm also adding Eibach sportline springs, BMR antisquat brackets, BMR control arms, and an adjustable BMR panhard bar. I was wondering if anyone is running a similar set-up and how it handles? Do these tires handle well and hook up well? Thanks in advance guys!

P.S. Next year I'll be adding BMR tubular subframe connectors, BMR strut tower brace, and a BMR adjustable torque arm. Do you think it will handle well after these mods?

The Firehawks work very well. On the other hand, the Sportlines supposedly don't handle as well as the ProKits.

i have almost the same set up, except Pro Kit and Koni SA

with those excellent tires, your handling will be definitely much improved over stock.
