Default LOWERING SPRINGS

The springs are my quick fix to not buying wheels (don't want to spend $1500 on the wheels I want just yet) but I don't like the big gap between the wheel and fender. What is the best brand and how low should I go to take a decent chunk out of the gap?

You can get the bolts from O'Rielly's auto Parts. Yes, I did them myself in my carport with a jack and 2 jack stands. The front is a much bigger job than the back. Back is about a 1 hour job...no problem. The front is easy too, but it requires renting a spring compressor and taking off a lot of parts. Not hard, just time consuming. If you want to do it, let me know and I will be happy to give you my contact info for more details. You will need to have the front end alighned after your finshed.

Are they like the ones made by PROGRESS Technology? Looks like a bolt with a cam in the middle?

LestR723, in those pictures is that your stock springs or the replacement ones? I ask because mine is stock and it looks like I have the same space between my tire and fender lips as you do.
