1) S-Techs Ride a bit rough. I mean there are less coils so the car is lower but also means u feel the bumps. It is a 2.4inch drop so it looks extreamly nice. If you want a more subtle drop you can opt for the Tein H-Techs. I've heard they ride like stock. And you will get a 1.8inch drop. So people will know your car is lowered, but at the same time you can enjoy a smoother ride than the S-Techs. I have had heard no complaints with either springs so the choice is yours.
2) Yes I am with stock dampers. I have heard people blowing their stock ones in a matter of months, but some people who have had the stock ones for like 3 years. I guess it depends on road conditions and how aggressive your driving is. I myself have had zero problems. If you want a safer bet stick with a higher drop like the h-techs. Or consider some after market dampers, like Koni Yellows.
3)There is absolutly no rubbing unless you take a big dip in the road. then you kinda hear a breif brushing sound in the front. (the front wheeling rubbing against the plastic wheel well cover. But its rare. I only rub every so often. If you get bigger wheels, like 18", which i have, it is hit and miss. Try and get rims that are closest to stock. That means rims that are 5x100 and an OFFSET BETWEEN +42-+45mm...THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RUB. anything else, and you will be increasing your chances of rubbing. so keep offset in mind when buying rims.
4) As for widest width, i'd stick to 7.5inches max. that's what i have on mine, and i think its ideal. an 8inch rim is pushing it. As for tire size, it depends on your offset and such. Popular setups that i have seen are:
17": 225/45/17 +48mm
17": 215/45/17 +40mm
17"x7": 235/40/17 +45mm
G'luck
