Subtle drop

Hey guys. Apologies if this is already covered. Searched around and couldn't find any info.

I'm looking to drop my car to close up the gap between the tires and wells a little, and improve handling. I'm hesitant to go with eibachs for a couple reasons.

1) I live in Iowa, snow here in the winter is pretty bad, nervous to go too low.

2) I don't want to have to mess around with camber kits, buying new control arms, etc to get my alignment within spec.

3) I recently got new wheels and like the current offset, the more I drop the car, the more recessed they become, correct?

I'm currently considering getting eibachs and then some 1" spring spacers. But am wondering if there is another spring out there that might accomplish what I am looking for?

Thanks for the guidance guys.

Nothing really meets your requirements except air ride.
Even eibachs can require extra parts for the alignment, and yes, the lower you go the more the wheels pull in.

In your neck of the woods, I just wouldn't lower. It isn't worth the hassle.

Look into the rsr down springs. I have them and they handle great and look good. Not an aggressive drop maybe .1 or .2 less than eibach
