What coilovers to get rid of wheel gap?
I just got some new rims with the size 18x10 with 22 offset all around. My suspension set up before was KYB shocks with Megan Racing Springs around but for some reason after I installed these wheels, the wheel gap got really wide. Was wondering will Tein SS coilovers get rid of the wheel gap? Thanks

Im going to venture out and say all coilovers have the ability to close wheel gap.
thats one of the main selling points of a coilover; the ability to adjust height

Like everyone said , coilovers give you height adjustability so your free to go how low you want. Im rolling ISC and they ride AMAZING! Tein SS are decent, Tein SA ive heard ride very well. Wheel gap me no likey

Read the features of the specific coilover in question.
the function and forms type1's Do not have DAMPING adjustments.
it sure does have ride height adjustment.

read the features of the product.
