Crazy wheel gap, which spring to compensate???HELP???

[uncle_louie83]

s13 coupe chassis..stock struts and springs right now...but im in the market for new struts and springs...

my ordeal is that i have stock 15in rims...i have 205/50/15's in the front an 225/50/15's in the rear...from the very top of the tire to the bottom edge of my fender i have 4in's of ugly gap visible....i need a 3in drop badly in the front...in the rear i have 3in's of gap....i need a 2in drop in the rear....i need something badly that is going to get rid of my wheel gap cause this **** is crazy. are all s13's like this? i think it maybe due to me going from the stock 65 series down to a 50 series...im sure that doesnt help but i need the front to be equal with the back or atleast i need the front to be a lil lower than the rear....you know like the old school muscle cars do it...the rake look...ive had that stance on all my previous cars and this one looks like its going to be hard to fix.

eibach sportlines are pretty low, but arent that great, and will blow your struts. what price range are you looking at?? if you want to spend some dollars just get some coilovers with ride height adjustability, prob fixed

[uncle_louie83]

im not loaded with money so im just going to have to stick with springs for now...maybe ill just wait a few more months to lower the car and get struts too...but the wheel gap is insane as is.

You are pretty much not gonna find any springs that will lower your car more than 2 inches. And anything that does, will end up ruining your struts. I would wait untill you have money for coilovers if you want that much drop. I know, wheel gap sucks, look at my car, and ive got some 205/60s. Doesnt really bother me though

Depends if you are into lemming like static fashion or empirically determined dynamic function.

Fender wheel opening gap has never affected function.

Is it a driver's car or a driveway paper weight?

And what is the gap with you sitting in drivers seat, full gasoline vs empty.

People don't realize how much normal weight changes ride height!

throw cinderblocks in the trunk, free drop

haha good point, since he doesnt seem to be too concerned about perf.
