!!I need advice about lowering my car!!

Ok this weekend I just bought 17'' ADR kasai's with 40 series tires this left me with a HUGE gap in my wheel well. What springs or coilovers have the best ride for the money without spending too much? what is the total drop in height with each?thanks guys

Do you live/drive in the city or country, or both? 5 speed or auto? Will you use stock, fixed, or adjustable struts? Answer that and I can better help you.

H&Rs. I know where Hagerstown is- I am from Martinsburg. I was just not sure if you lived out in the country or IN hagerstown.

If you are going on stock struts in H-town w/ an auto tranny, I would do H&R or Tein H-Tech.

And I woudl consider swapping out my struts at some point as well.

By that Sheetz out on 40? I used to work @ Family Rec, the go-cart/mini golf place out there on 40, right across the road from the track.
