Thumbs up 2001 acura tl

I installed 18 x 8 in. Rims i got at a good price on ebay.
I am on a budget so i am just going to go with new springs.
I have my eye on .75 front/.5 rear.
Any advice?

you are still going to have a lot of wheel gap with that small of a drop. may look awkward.

Question

What would the lowest drop in inches for front/rear without having to mess with camber or compromise drive?

H&R sports will give you close to 2" and wont need a camber kit.

it drove just fine.

it could have been better on some aftermarket struts.. but it was more than comfortable enough.

it didnt rub at all... and no... my wheels, no yours are wide enough to require fender work.

Hello again.
I am on budget & always looking for a bargain.
I found these on Ebay.

They seem pretty bangy for your buck.
Opinions?
