I took all your guy's advice and just put on a set of 195/65/15's wow what a differnce.
Those 165's I had just wouldent hang on like the 195's.
Once again thanks every for the sound advice.

I have the same size on my recently completed project, the tires fit well. I also added the rear sway bar and I really like the more stable, flatter feel in the turns.

So if your easily swayed you need sway bars.

Just buy KYB shocks like I did! It's cheaper.

Cheaper? Yes. But in my experience the KYBs ride really rough and don't control the wheels very well. Felt like they had a lot of compression damping and limited rebound damping on the last car I had with them.

They're more money but I think you'd be happier with Bilsteins (good ride, reasonable handling) or Konis (more $$$, tighter ride, but adjustable so you can tune the suspension). Just my .02

A joke. But thought it was funny. And I don't have the money for sway's.
