I have Kumho SPT 235/40 on my car right now... height is almost close to stock and ride is slightly changed due to the shorter sidewall.

can't really tell you the difference since I installed stiffer springs and sway bars the same time I mounted the tires... the ride is much stiffer than stock and I'm pretty sure the lower profile tires contribute to it but I'm not sure by how much. Also I'm runibg 38 psi of nitrogen...
