Hey i am probably going to go grab some Tein High Tec / S.Tech Springs with a 1.3" drop for 100$ this weekend....I have a 98 rs, w/ the 10th anniversary edition rims....do you think a 1.3 drop will be enough to eliminate the wheelgappage(or most of it)? I just dont like the Ginormous wheelgap ;/

wheelgappage and ginormous. good words haha. I dont know about your ? tho. I can tell you when I get my car back. My car is in the shop for accident repair. I asked them to install my pro kits while theyre at it. Shoud be around a 1.2 inch drop.

Well i got the same springs on that you're about to install and i'm pretty satisfied with it. It was about 1.2-1.4 inch drop if i remember. I do have 18's on now and it looks perfect imo.

I would suggest not worrying about the wheel gap until you have the money for new struts too. There is no point in just slapping lowering springs onto your factory struts. You're only going to cause yourself problems along with the fact that you'll have to redo the entire install when your stockers quit on you.

I concur with his statement. I have switched my suspension about 3 times already because i did not put new struts on in replacement of the stock ones.. But hey good thing is I am a pro at replacing suspension now.. I can get the whole car done in 3 hours
