I want coilovers. I need to order them soon. Reccomend me some coils that won't rust and will go low enough to eliminate all wheel gap. Priced between 700 and say 1200. There's so many options it's overwhelming.

I can dig that. It says they lower 1" to 2.5". Why doesn't that sound low on paper?

didn't see that bit.....put it this way, my H&R sport springs helped lower the car a bunch (I still need to take measurements) but I have a 2 finger gap on all four corners. The sport springs state a 1.25" front and 1" rear drop....suffice it to say a 2.5" drop should eliminate all wheel gap.

My h&r's dropped my car lower than most people wanna go. Negative wheel gap for sure. Very tucked
