Ok, I'm looking at the car today and thinking that I think the back wheels sit nicely into the wheel wells but there's much more gap in the front. I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to drop the front maybe 1/2 inch and leave the rear stock height, and that would level out the car nicely and not really look "lowered".

Any ideas? From what i can tell the least drop front springs out there right now are about 1.2" which is more than I want to go.....

I just want to keep the car looking more or less stock, not lowered, but just get rid of a little bit of the front wheel gap....

 

Just rebend the springs to get the height you want.

doing this will raise the angle of your car actually, making the rear view of ur car looking higher than stock; but i had chopped maxspeeds in front so that could have been the reason for such a dramatic look.

 

I know what you mean, the front gap is really unsightly. Eibach is the least severe drop, so you could use a front set. However, they are a far higher rate spring than stock and would require a strut replacement up front as well. The result might look fairly even, but ride and handling with mismatched front and back stock/stuts? I'd imagine iffy at best.

 

If you're not changing rear springs, it's recommended that you pick a pair of front springs that has spring rate close to stock springs. I think, in this case, H&R is the closest?

just buy maxspeed and put on the front springs
its about a 1.4 inch drop.. looks nice
