Default springs

bought 19" wheels a few weeks ago. the gap between tire and fender is kind of big in the rear, the front gap is much smaller.
i measured the gap in the rear is 2.5" and in the front is less than an inch.

i want to buy new springs, but all i see is sets of 4 (and they're all similar in size, like 1" front 1.2" rear etc)

my question is.. can i lower the car in the front less than an inch, and in the rear 2.5 inches? and if so, can i buy individual sets of springs? like just the front set and rear set seperate?

must get coilovers.

Springs - no.

Do you have any idea how bad it would look with the front less than an inch and the rear 2.5?

less stupid than no gap infront and huge gap in the rear? and damn coils are expensive -_-
but all lowered cars i've seen have an even gap, in the front and rear, so im assuming thats how it would look like. i just think that the previous owner put some weird springs on car. the front fenders are rolled, and the car is already lowered a bit (front only). Also the gap on left rear is not the same as right rear lol

coils are the only way to get that even look. or bigger rear tires. ive seen tein basics for as low as 800 new. After shocks thats cheaper than springs.
You will need to get adjustable camber rods that alone is around 2-300.

Sure. The front of the car will point in the air. Is that the look you are going for?

lol

the new rims definitely did not change the gap between fender/tire.

and er, i think you wanna lower the front 1.5 and the back 2 inches.

1 and 2.5 is gonna look ridiculous.
