Finally!!!

It took me so long to get some shoes but I got them. They sent the wrong ones but they look nice. I originally ordered them in black with a chrome lip but they sent me these. They still look good. I want to lower it. I really hate the giant gap it has in the from. What kind of setup should I do guys??? Please help.

Good looking rims and Barracks..

You must be in the Corp, Marine? Lejeune?

I got some Comptech's Springs, not too low but less gap.

Thanks for your service..

Pat

I just want something thats looks and rides smooth. Not too low because i dont want to tuck the wheels in. Would i need springs or coilovers? Plus what make?

Koni Yellows are more or less the best shocks you can get. As for springs, I would go with H&R Sport for around 1.5 inch drop or Eibach Pro Kit for 2 inch drop.

Or if you want to go coilovers and dont want to tuck rim, go with Tein Basics.

BTW those wheels look good how they are now. I think they would look worse in black.

I run HR Race/Koni Yellow

I'm about 2.5inches low (koni's on lowest setting as well)

it's a bit expensive, and you could get FF1s for the price, but I like it a lot

i would suggest function and form type 1 coilovers, but since you dont wanna go too low, i think tein basics is perfect for you because their pretty smooth.

Sounds like all you want are springs.

They will give you the drop that you want. Please do all 4, your car would look really off if you didnt.

I have eibach springs and it eliminated the gap. Still has a 1.5 finger gap.

Pretty close to what is advertised. 2.1 in the front, 1.6 rear. You can fit one finger in the font and is flush in the back. I want the front to go lower though.

Do you have like a link or anything like that? I looked at the Tein basics but they are a little out of my price range at this moment.
