    slammed look....

    going for a slammed look.i have experienced h&R springs and ground control coilovers so other than those im looking for springs that tuck the tires into the fender either near or close (no gap). lmk what else is out there...thanks!

    ie stage III sit nice and low as does the h & r cup kit. if you really wanna be tucking low then you have to go with an adjustable coilover set up gc, kw. i have the kw variant 2 set in my car and i have absolutey no gap on all 4 corners and i still can go alot lower. why though car starts handling like shit after ca are past parallel? i couldnt see spending coilover money for a shitty handling car. just rice it and heat/ cut the stockers.

        With my old FK 60/40 set-up I was tucking rear and the fronts came flush with the fenders, I'll see if I can dig up a picture for you.

                          AMI motorsport in canada, i was about to buy from them, but i needed to get back to them, and in the mean time i found a cheaper price and they said they would price match, so i got it for the cheapest price i could find on the internet from them. i got the whole kit shocks and springs, they call it the FK high tech kit.

                            You probably want a 60/60 kit for the slammed look.

                              no way. the rear already tucks tire with the 40mm drop.
