The overall effect will be a massive upgrade from the stock sedan suspension. It's likely well-damped and you'll corner a hell of a lot flatter than stock thanks to the matched set of anti-sway bars. Plus, you'll reap the handling rewards without compromising your winter driveability. I'm glad I stayed around the same height with my S2 suspension upgrade as you well know what the weather's like in North Bay!I hate to say this.
I'd also recommend a beefy front strut tower bar to sharpen your turn-in response when driving fairly aggressively. After having all the mods done to our car and then test-driving a couple of stock 06s... it's night and day.
Wider tires will tend to "railroad" or follow grooves and seams in the road, so you should be aware of that as well. I get that a lot more with the 205/50R16s than the stock 185/65R14s.
