You can afford $4K worth of wheels and tires plus full body kit, hood, and fenders and you want to cut or sag your springs???? Dude, pony up the money for some coilovers and do it right...

What size tires do you have? I bet if you have the proper size tire for the car the gap will be a lot smaller.

Some people only care about what is visible to the naked eye, and skimp on everything else. Makes me sad.

Or just sell your s-techs and go upgrade to some eibach pro-kit or something else if u are on a budget.

I'm probably going to just replace the rears to Eibachs and leave the front the way they are

You don’t need springs. Take them out.
