springs will elimate most of the wheel gap, but it is also up to the size of tires you have also.

FRPP And Eibachs are pretty much similar. Like Oddy said, it also depends on your wheel set-up.

I would love to do it but my mustang needs the ground clearnce. You might need caster camber plates depending on how far you are going to drop it.

If you do it, do it right with all the extra needed
goodies for proper handling and tire wear,
not just for the 'slammed into the weeds' way-out-of-camber-look,
dont handle for sheit or drive straight with ease, wandering PieceOsheit....
Under steer and bump steer that throws you around instead of you throwing the stang around...
You need to address the camber and bump steer aspects in the front
as well as the pinion angle and panhard issues in the rear...

Will need
Even if you only drop it 1/4" in the front, you really need to get the
front end back into OEM alignment and geometry. Period.
