Default Yet another springs question....

I've been reading alot of posts on the different springs guys are running, and I think I've narrowed my search to Tein S or Tanabe GF210s. I just bought Rota p45s with 255/35/18s and 275/35/18s and I've got alot more gap between the tires and fenders than I want. I want to lower it a bit, but I want to use the stock shocks, and I don't want to have to roll the fenders, I don't want a crappy ride either. I really don't want to drop it more than an inch. Suggestions?

(Wrong sub-forum) But maybe Hotchkis is what you want. Advertised drop is about 0.5" front, 0.75" rear. Gives you just about even wheel gap front and rear, provided your aftermarket tire OD is about the same as stock.

thanks for the input. How have your hotchkis' been holding up. I assume you're happy with them since your suggesting them.

I'm pretty happy with them. The ride quality is pretty close to stock. Steering felt like it got a bit lighter, but then I just put on wider tires yesterday which made it feel tighter/heavier again. I posted some pics in another thread near the top of this forum, if you want an idea of how the drop looks. Keep in mind I am running 19" wheels.

Since you are running smaller diameter tires than stock, I would go with Tanabe to close up the gap.
