Default Lowering spring help

Hi guys,
I have decided that I want to lower my 2011, along with many other mods, but my problem is my very limited knowledge of the subject. I am really only wanting to do it for looks to remove the gap between the wheel well and the tire.

I don't drive hard and don't want to lose my ride quality. I spoke to someone and they made some suggestions as to what to get, but I thought I would check here just to make sure. I am thinking of springs only at the moment and was told that with my driving habits that I shouldn't need anything else.

I actually live close enough to Brother's Performance to drive over and pick up a set of springs. I am looking to pick them up on Wednesday and have them installed next week.

Any suggestions? I am running 285/40r18 in the back and 255/45r18 in the front. I was thinking 1" in the front and maybe a little more in the back.

I am going to move your thread over to the S197 section for better knowledge on your ride

These springs will give you just a hair over 1" in the front and a little more than that in the back. Plus they have a Lifetime Guarantee.

Thanks for the link. I went ahead and order some eibach pro kit springs from American Muscle today. I wish I would have seen your link sooner. Those look pretty good and seem like a good drop. Thanks again.

No prob. Can't go wrong with Pro Kit. Like I said, now you and I actually have the same springs. Mine are just painted a different color.
